| Summary: | This article investigates the composition of the heavenly scenario in Revelation 8:1-6 and the implications of composition for the understanding of this passage. The first section discusses some of the major problems of New Testament scholars with the coherence of the passage. In response to these concerns about its composition, the well structured form of the passage is analysed in terms of textual and intertextual links. The article finally spells out how the composition of this passage determines its twofold message of salvation and judgment. |
