520    "Reading Revelation in Context brings together short, 
       accessible essays that compare and contrast the visions 
       and apocalyptic imagery of the book of Revelation with 
       various texts from Second Temple Jewish literature. Going 
       beyond an introduction that merely surveys historical 
       events and theological themes, Reading Revelation in 
       Context examines individual passages in Second Temple 
       Jewish literature in order to illuminate the context of 
       Revelation's theology and the meaning and potency of 
       John's visions. Following the narrative progression of 
       Revelation, each chapter (1) pairs a major unit of the 
       Apocalypse with one or more sections of a thematically 
       related Jewish text, (2) introduces and explores the 
       historical and theological nuances of the comparator text,
       and (3) shows how the ideas in the comparator text 
       illuminate those expressed in Revelation. In addition to 
       the focused comparison provided in the essays, the book 
       contains other student-friendly features that will help 
       them engage broader discussions, including an introductory
       chapter that familiarizes students with the world and 
       texts of Second Temple Judaism, a glossary of important 
       terms, and a brief appendix suggesting what tools students
       might use to undertake their own comparative studies. At 
       the end of each chapter there a list of other thematically
       relevant Second Temple Jewish texts recommended for 
       additional study and a focused bibliography pointing 
       students to critical editions and higher-level discussions
       in scholarly literature. Reading Revelation in Context 
       brings together an international team of over 20 New 
       Testament experts including Jamie Davies, David A. deSilva,
       Michael J. Gorman, Dana M. Harris, Ronald Herms, Edith M. 
       Humphrey, Jonathan A. Moo, Elizabeth E. Shively, Cynthia 
       Long Westfall, Archie T. Wright, and more."--|cProvided by
