| Summary: | Though this volume is part of the series Studies in Peace and Scripture, it is the only volume published by Baker Academic. The series editors note: ‘Visions of peace abound in the Bible, whose pages are also filled with the language of violence.’ In keeping with this focus, David Neville has chosen a title that subtly draws attention to the polarity of Jesus’ peaceable mission and the violent message of eschatological judgement, especially in the apocalyptic discourse of Matthew 24 and the following parables of chapter 25, and in the Revelation to John. These have been read as expressions of violent eschatology in the face of implacable evil. |
