And the \u003ci\u003eway\u003c\/i\u003e it has shaped history and culture has been determined, in large part, by how the book has been variously--and sometimes irresponsibly--interpreted. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid A. deSilva addresses the interpretation and reception-history of Revelation in this compact, up-to-date, and student-friendly introduction to the book of Revelation, focusing on its structure, content, theological concerns, key interpretive debates, and historical reception. \u003ci\u003eDiscovering Revelation\u003c\/i\u003e draws on a range of methodological approaches (author-, text-, and reader-centered) as complementary rather than mutually exclusive ways of interpreting the text. DeSilva pays special attention to defining features of Revelation, such as its use of sequences of seven as a major structuring device, its nonlinear plotline, and its deployment of contrast and parody. As deSilva writes, \"A text as rich and multidimensional as Revelation calls for its readers to adopt a rich and multidimensional approach that draws upon a variety of interpretative angles and skills.\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David A. deSilva\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802872425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802872425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
