Remarks on structure

Published August 28, 2007 by dr. Georg Adamsen. Last Updated April 22, 2008 Leave a Comment

The entries marked structure deal with the problem of structure, one of the more controversial, but also important issues as regards the interpretation of Revelation.

Remarks on Revelation and art

Published August 27, 2007 by dr. Georg Adamsen. Last Updated August 27, 2007 Leave a Comment

Remarks on persecutions and the imperial cult

Now, however, several scholars […]
