Newman's own wife and ministerial associate, Jean Butler Newman, has expertly told the fascinating, behind-the-scenes story of what is takes for a man, so prepared by God for this critical labor, to follow in the footsteps of centuries of translators of the Holy Bible, many of whom lost their lives for doing so, and to perform this monumental mission with scholastic integrity and spiritual purity in creating a work beneficial to his fellow man.

Far from spinning a fantasy of what will never be, the book of Revelation depicts an alternate social world in order to shape the community and individual identity of an audience living under imperial rule. To highlight the Apocalypse’s meaning for its original audience, this volume focuses on two interrelated themes pulsing throughout Revelation: rhetoric and politics. It considers rhetorical strategies and tactics in Revelation and demonstrates how its rhetoric fits the situation in Roman Asia Minor and the struggle within the Apocalypse community. It also examines community and cultural conflicts, showing how myth, symbol, and liturgy function as means of resistance in an imperial setting. By offering a fresh window on the lively interplay between imagination and history, between words and worlds, this volume will be indispensable for anyone seeking to understand current scholarly analysis of the book of Revelation.
