Invitation to transcendence: The book of revelation

Pages 402-416 | Received 06 Jul 1999, Accepted 08 Mar 2000, Published online: 06 Jun 2009
 

Abstract

The author of Revelation, acting as a rhetorical change‐agent, created an experience of transcendence for his readers during the course of the book by discerning in history a divine plan and showing the proper place of his readers in that plan. His invitation to experience transcendence strategically compensated for an apparent gap in the early Christian worldview.
