Revelation, Second Edition

Focusing on social accommodation within early Christian communities, this commentary interprets Revelation as John's response to challenges faced by churches in Asia Minor. The author, Knight, posits that the persecution under Emperor Domitian was largely exaggerated, viewing martyrdom references as symbolic. He emphasizes John's call for a stricter moral standard compared to Paul's leniency in his letters. The work offers a clear chapter-by-chapter analysis, culminating in a discussion of Revelation's key theological concepts.
