Product Description Revelation 19:1121 is a passage rich in symbol and allusion, much of which proves elusive for interpreters restricting themselves to Old Testament references. However, when GrecoRoman history and mythology are examined, new possibilities are discovered. Revelation 19 in Historical and Mythological Context analyzes the Roman triumph and the Parthian threat as sources for the colorful imagery in Revelation 19, ultimately exploring the Nero redivivus myth as the nexus between the two and a key for unlocking the passage. Paradox and parody are important themes in this technical though theological study of the climax to the drama that is the Apocalypse. Review David Andrew Thomass work is fascinating, wellorganized, wellresearched, and wellargued. It brings new light to some old puzzles on a passage to which commentators (including myself) have often given insufficient attention. Thomas deeply explores proposed backgrounds of Revelations imagery, providing further investigation for some and completely new ground for others. By avoiding the fallacy of unnecessary eitherors he achieves a new synthesis that many students of Revelation will find intriguing.
