Description
Summary:The purpose of this presentation is not to give a comprehensive analysis of the Greek syntax of the Apocalypse of John but to follow up the suggestion by Jeske that much of the scholarly attention to the Apocalypse of John has shifted from the historical to a socio-political and socio-psychological analysis. Instead of treating the Apocalypse at arm's length. content with a rationalist decoding of its symbolism and an historicist reading of its esoteric fantasy the emphasis will be laid on a socio-psychological reading of the effect of the language of the Apocalypse of John. That does however not minimise the importance of a thorough study of the Greek syntax of the Apocalypse.
