Thompson, Revelation
by Georg S. Adamsen on August 25, 2007
in Scholarly commentaries,Social-scientific criticism
Thompson’s commentary employs social-scientific methods and argues strongly that there was no persecution in the last decade of the first century. Thompson has many ingenious observations on Revelation and is particularly useful for those who do not want to consult the major commentaries. A must, in my opinion.
See also his The Book of Revelation: Apocalypse and Empire.
