Resseguie employs critical tools derived from academic literary criticism to understand The Revelation of John. Any book acquires meaning through its readers, who enact its language and narrative as they read. Resseguie describes The Revelation, clearly and with accessible detail, as a coherently structured narrative experience. This begins with the narrator John?s vision of divine order revealed in the coming of Christ, proceeds through John?s images of mankind?s descent into evil and confusion, and concludes with his reassertion of his vision of divine order as a second coming of Christ. On the way, individual scenes generate imaginative meanings, not single specific interpretations. This critical method makes a stimulating and encouraging guide for readers.
