| Résumé: | Preliminary Material -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Greco-Roman Utopia -- 3. Jewish Utopia -- 4. The Utopia of Revelation 21–22 -- 5. Conclusion -- Appendices -- Bibliography -- Index Ancient Sources -- Index of Subjects. In Revelation 21-22 in Light of Jewish and Greco-Roman Utopianism , Eric J. Gilchrest offers a creative and compelling reading of Revelation 21-22 as understood through the lens of ancient utopianism. The work is in two parts beginning with a detailed portrait of ancient utopianism based on Greco-Roman and Jewish traditions. The portrait sketches the “topography” of the utopian landscape, which includes a thorough account of various traditions using fourteen utopian topoi or motifs. The author then moves to a description of Revelation’s new Jerusalem in light of these two utopian traditions. With sensitivity to how this text would have been read by each utopian perspective, the author constructs a unique reading of a classic passage that highlights the variety of ways the text originally may have been heard |
