Reading Revelation: A Thematic Approach Campbell W. Gordon
In general, Revelation studies continue to favour going outside or behind the text (in search of its context of origin, via the historical-critical paradigm) or, more recently, in front of the text (to investigate the book's reception history, past and present). To facilitate such work, narrative criticism has supplied some much-needed toolsand methods, although these are mainly used to explore the mechanics of how a text 'works' via an examination of its moving parts. To date, relatively little synchronic exegetical work inside the text has been undertaken, with the aim of understanding the text as we have it and on its own terms.
The result is a coherent and satisfying account of how Revelation's complex Campbell uses this methodology in a way that respects Revelation's narrative verve, adjusting and supplementing it so as totake account of the book's sophisticated thematic content.
