Summary: | The English text used in this edition is that of the New International Version (NIV 2011), a translation of the Bible in which Professor Fee himself has been involved. The well-known Canadian author states at the very beginning that ‘stepping into the Revelation from the rest of the New Testament is to enter into a strange, bizarre new world’. Nevertheless, with some reserve, he opts for the traditional alternative concerning authorship, that the book stems from the same pen as the Gospel of John and the three Letters ascribed to the Apostle John. However, this premiss does not feature very strongly in the explications of the passages of the Apocalypse. References to the Johannine literature are remarkably few. |
