BIL-408 Revelation and Apocalyptic

Revelation is the only book of the Bible written in the genre of an apocalypse. However, several other apocalyptic elements are found in other portions of the Bible (Daniel, the speeches of Jesus, 2 Thessalonians). This course will survey the nature of apocalyptic literature in the biblical world and discuss principles for interpreting apocalyptic. The study of Revelation will entail surveying the structure and contents of the book, examining its history of interpretation, interpreting key passages, and developing a sound approach for applying the book in our contemporary context. Not open to students with credit in BIL-320. Prerequisite: BIL-310 or BIL-420
