520 |a The implications of the fact that the book of Revelation has been composed in intimate conversation with the Old Testament have not been fully appreciated. This article explores such implications in terms of the literary shape of ch. 18 and in terms of what can be deduced from it about the author's attitude to Roman economics or even to Rome in general. The main conclusion is that the kind of material we find in Revelation 18 does not lend itself to the kind of historical-critical reading of the chapter to which it has so often been subjected. It is the generalities of the chapter and of the book as a whole. rather than the peculiarities, that are important and to which the literature in fact gives the reader access.
