Backhaus, Knut2024-11-082024-11-082018The Biblical Annals, 2018, T. 8, nr 1, s. 71-91.2451-21682083-2222https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/23282Artykuł w języku angielskim.The Book of Revelation confronts its readers with the problem of violence and irrationality, thereby putting at stake its claim to inspiration and truth. In a canonical and pastoral approach, the document of the Pontifical Biblical Commission explains this unruly book as an expression of Christ’s “burning love”. However, Revelation offers its reader a dramatic counter-world, in which neither love nor logic may be learnt but the coping with passion and “tears”. The visionary strategy (1) gives the Christians insights into their own truth, (2) establishes their very own, “heavenly” perspective, (3) meticulously provides them with theocentric knowledge of the purpose of their everyday struggles, (4) transforms them by a dramatic experience of redemption, and (5) lets them encounter Christ in an experience of longing and trust.enCC-BY - Uznanie autorstwaRevelation of JohnApocalypse of Johninspirationviolence in the Bibledramatic Bible readingBiblical Pontifical CommissionBibleNew Testamenttruthbiblical studiesApokalipsa św.
