| Summary: | Genre or text type concerns the way material is organized in a discourse. There are only a limited number of ways in which the various functions of communication in language can take place, that is: narration, exposition, argument, descriptionption and listing. These ways represent different text types. Since apocalyptic eschatology can be presented in any of these ways, it is argued that it is incorrect to classify 'apocalyptic' texts or 'apocalypses' as a separate genre. These texts are written from a specific perspective: apocalyptic eschatology, and often in a specific code which is a cultural convention. 1 Enoch is a narrative as are the individual books it consists of except for the so-called Epistle of Enoch which is an argumentative text. The texts of the New Testament can be divided into two groups: narrative and argumentative texts. The Revelation of John is a circular letter in narrative form. |
