Excerpt:
For centuries the Apocalypse of John, commonly known as the book of
Revelation, has posed problems for scholars who have sought to interpret it.
Many of the problems are aggravated by the seemingly impossible task of
determining with any certainty the literary structure of the book itself. The
Apocalypse contains four sections explicitly divided into seven parts: the
seven letters (2:1!3:22), the seven!sealed scroll (4:1!8:1), the
seven trumpets (8:2!11:19), the seven bowls of God's wrath (15:1!16:21).
The first of these sections contains seven letters dictated to John. The letters share a
distinct form among themselves that sets them apart from the other three
sections containing seven parts.
