    In viewing many online debates between Christians and non-believers concerning the matter of God, often times it is the non-believer who obtains the upper hand in the argument. When confronted with difficult questions concerning God’s revelation, many Christians are unable to properly defend the questions of objectors or even the Christian faith. For many Christians, God’s revelation is through the lens of a less than Christian worldview where knowledge of God is imperfect and clarified through societal norms, preconceptions, and judgments (McGrath, 2014). Lacking the biblical knowledge to fend off a non-believers questioning concerning matters of faith, God’s revelation included, Christians resort to their own reason based off theirs and…

    • 1318 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Revelation, an apocalypse, is one of the most misunderstood books of the Bible. In this book, John describes heavenly wisdom he received from an angel. Readers often have a difficult time understanding this book because John depicts the supernatural world through many strange events and symbols, and scholars debate the legitimacy and context of John’s vision. Upon further reading of the text, it appears that stories in Revelation should be taken literally and that the events are predicting…

    • 1286 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Greg Carey defines rhetography as “sensory rhetoric”, a device used in the Book of Revelation to convey one of its many themes, wealth redistribution. I will be examining the Revelation’s image of the woman and the dragon from 12:1-4. While this image’s rhetography does not address the redistribution of wealth once taken out of Revelation’s larger context, it does present an image of social vulnerability. To begin this examination, I recreated a painted image using a traditional understanding…

In his book Divine Revelation and the Limits of Historical Criticism, William Abraham quotes the philosopher Basil Mitchel on his account of the epistemological nature of the Christian Canon on the assumption that it is, in fact, divinely inspired. Basil Mitchel states:…

    John Book Of Revelation

    • 1265 Words
    • 5 Pages

    John writes the book of Revelation to testify “to everything he saw” of the testimony given to him by Jesus Christ. He recorded his vision from Christ “for the benefit of…Christians throughout history”. He wrote to the seven churches in the provinces of Asia to urge his readers to “be ready at all times for the Last Judgment and the establishment of God’s kingdom.” While Revelation is not, as some assume, a secret code to unlock the future, it is a great resource to Christians so that they…
