The Apocalypse of John – A Commentary

Autor Francis J. Moloney, Eugenio Corsini
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 aug 2020
"A remarkable commentary"

This paradigm-shifting commentary on Revelation brings Francis Moloney's keen narrative and exegetical work to bear on one of the most difficult, mysterious, and misinterpreted texts in the biblical canon. The book includes a foreword by Eugenio Corsini.

"Francis Moloney, renowned as a specialist on the Fourth Gospel, here turns to the book of Revelation. Inspired by the work of Italian scholar Eugenio Corsini, Moloney offers a vigorous challenge to readings of Revelation as an 'apocalyptic' work focused on eschatological judgment. With astute sensitivity to the rhetoric of this 'genre-bending' text, Moloney argues that Revelation celebrates the eternal victory of the sacrificed Lamb over all powers of evil. His persuasive reading of Revelation as a work of 'realized' eschatology will stimulate debate but will also inspire a deeper appreciation for this complex, visionary book, particularly relevant in an 'apocalyptic' epoch."
--Harold W. Attridge, Yale Divinity School

"Francis Moloney offers a much-needed perspective to the interpretive conversation about the Apocalypse (the book of Revelation). Reinvigorating a long-standing mission to bring Eugenio Corsini's voice into the global scholarly discussion, Moloney, in his customarily engaging and accessible manner, challenges readers to encounter this text as a genre-bending, apocalyptic reenvisioning of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Both late first-century and early twenty-first-century churches are asked to take stock of themselves: Where do they (we) belong--in the new Jerusalem of the sacrificed Lamb, or outside, selling out to the far more immediate gratification of the status quo? It is a choice made daily, and this commentary guides us through John of Patmos's challenging scriptural counsel."
--Sherri Brown, Creighton University

"Widely acclaimed for his narrative-critical readings of the Gospels of Mark and John, Francis Moloney now applies his considerable exegetical skills to the Apocalypse. Inspired especially by the work of Eugenio Corsini, Moloney's careful analysis of the unfolding narrative produces an interpretation which gives full weight to Revelation's conviction that the Lamb has been slain 'from the foundation of the world, ' with implications for Israel's past no less than the church's present and creation's future. Even those readers unpersuaded by Moloney's overall thesis will find in his commentary a rich treasure trove of narrative sensitivity, intertextual connections, and theological insight."
--Ian Boxall, The Catholic University of America
