La primera palabra de todo el libro es Apocalipsis, que querÃa decir revelación. Esta palabra ha venido a ser, no solamente el tÃtulo de este libro en particular, sino también, el nombre que se le da a todo un género de literatura que resultó común en los cÃrculos judÃos unos pocos siglos antes del advenimiento de la fe cristiana.
Los cristianos adoptaron este género para su propia literatura. El primer caso, y el que le dio nombre a todo el género apocalÃptico, fue el Apocalipsis de Juan. En general, la literatura apocalÃptica se enfrenta a la cuestión del sufrimiento de los justos en manos de los injustos, y lo hace empleando un lenguaje altamente simbólico que combina un frecuente uso de la metáfora con números que reciben significados misteriosos. Este libro de Justo L. González y Catherine Gunsalus González explica con gran claridad todo el contexto histórico y también la exégesis del libro del Apocalipsis; con gran erudición, pero de forma muy clara y pedagógica, conectando, también, nuestras circunstancias semejantes a las del siglo primero. La injusticia y la idolatrÃa todavÃa se pasean en nuestra sociedad y sobre la faz de la tierra. Por esas razones, resulta ser una gran bendición el que el Apocalipsis, con sus advertencias aterradoras para quienes prefieren la comodidad y el éxito antes que la fidelidad, sea parte de nuestro Nuevo Testamento.
AquÃ, dos de los historiadores más importantes, ofrecen a los lectores un comentario altamente accesible, perfecto para los lÃderes de estudios bÃblicos o el propio estudio personal.
Un estudio del libro del Apocalipsis de Juan, como guÃa para la fe y la práctica cristiana. Se explica el libro bÃblico y explora su significado para vivir con fidelidad hoy.
How to Read Revelation
Justo L González and Catherine Gunsalus González explain with great clarity the whole historical context exégesis the book of Revelation, with great erudition, clearly, and pedagogically.
Christians adopted this genre for some of their own literature. The first case, and the one that named the entire apocalyptic genre, was the Apocalypse of John. In general, apocalyptic literature addresses the issue of the suffering of the righteous at the hands of the unjust, using highly symbolic language that combines frequent use of metaphor with numbers that receive mysterious meanings. This book by Justo L González and Catherine Gunsalus González explains with great clarity the entire historical context and also the exegesis of the book of Revelation, with great erudition but in a very clear and pedagogical way. Connecting also our circumstances similar to those of the first century. Injustice and idolatry are still rampant in our society and on the face of the earth. For these reasons, it is a great blessing that Revelation, with its terrifying warnings for those who prefer comfort and success over faithfulness, is part of our New Testament.
Here, two of the most important historians offer readers a highly accessible commentary, perfect for Bible study leaders or personal study.
A study of the book of John's Revelation as a guide to Christian faith and practice. It explains the biblical book and explores its meaning for today's faithful life.
