Narrative and Drama in the Book of Revelation - A Literary Approach

Informationen zum Autor Lourdes García Ureña is Assistant Professor in the Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Comunicación of Universidad CEU San Pablo. She holds a Ph.D. in Theology from Pontifical Holy Cross University (2003) and received a second Ph.D. in Classical Philology from the University of Córdoba in 2009. Zusammenfassung This book is aimed at biblical and classical scholars. It resolves one of the most striking questions about the Book of Revelation: what is its literary genre? John chooses a literary form, similar to that of the short story, allowing him to use time-space coordinates flexibly, to dramatize the text and to take his time in describing his visions. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. The literary forms of the Book of Revelation; 2. John, eyewitness and herald of the visions; 3. John, auditory witness and herald of the word.
