Setting the scene: a modern debate about faith and history -- Relating scripture and systematic theology: some preliminary issues -- Ways of approaching the Book of Revelation -- The spatial dimension of the Book of Revelation -- The temporal dimension of the Book of Revelation -- Two contemporary applications of apocalyptic to the theology of history: reflections in the light of the Book of Revelation -- Conclusions.
This book examines the question of how God might be thought to relate to the realm of human history. It explores this partly through a reading of a particular New Testament text, the Book of Revelation, and partly through analysing the work of two theologians, Jürgen Moltmann and Wolfhart Pannenberg.
