Free Download Power and Place: Temple and Identity in Book of Revelation By Gregory Stevenson
2001 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 3110170086 | PDF | 11 MB
`No physical structure in antiquity held more significance as a place of access to deity than a temple’ – from the introduction. Stevenson’s study explores Jewish thought and tradition and the inter-mingling of Greco-Roman and Jewish culture based on an analysis of symbolism in the Book of Revelation. Written in the latter half of the first century, the Book of Revelation was written for Christians living in the culturally diverse area of western Asia Minor. Considering Early Christianity in the ancient Mediterranean was devoid of temple buildings, Stevenson questions why temples appear in Revelation, what they symbolise and whether this is representative of ideas of symbolism in the contemporary world.
