Taylor begins with a helpful introduction to the genre; surveys the purpose, message, and primary themes of Old Testament apocalyptic literature; and then discusses critical questions and key works for further study. He also provides guidelines for interpreting apocalyptic texts, followed by Old Testament passages that serve to illustrate those guidelines.
While primarily written for pastors and graduate students, Interpreting Apocalyptic Literature┬аis nonetheless accessible to those who simply want to study the texts more deeply than previously possible.
┬аRichard A. Taylor is senior professor of Old Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. Taylor's previous publications include┬аHaggai┬аin the New American Commentary series.
