Revelation in the Context of Classical Greek Literature

Modern scholars often categorize the Book of Revelation as a genre of literature they’ve termed “apocalyptic literature.” But Dr. Warren Gage argues this is a mistake. To understand Revelation, we need to read the book  in the context of the New Testament world to which it was written. The Greeks identified four different genres of literature: tragedy, comedy, epic, and lyric. Which of the four genres does Revelation really belong to? The answer will surprise you! This episode is part of a verse by verse study of Revelation 21 & 22. Dr. Warren Gage is a biblical scholar known for showing how every story in the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, points to Christ. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been reading the Bible for your entire life or you’re just beginning. His teaching will give you an entirely new appreciation for the beauty of the Scripture and the depth of Christ’s redemptive love for you.  To keep up with all things pertaining to the podcast, visit our website at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drwarrengage.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To support the production of this podcast, please visit our patreon at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/drwarrengage⁠
