A New Heaven and a New Earth: The Meaning and Function of the Old Testament in R

Description: A New Heaven and a New Earth by Dave Mathewson This volume attempts to move beyond merely identifying and substantiating OT allusions in Revelation to considering how the presence of OT allusions and echoes affects reading Rev. 21.1-22.5 and how the OT functions within the context of the entire work. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this book the author attempts to move beyond merely identifying and substantiating OT allusions in Revelation to considering how the presence of OT allusions and echoes affects reading Rev. 21.1-22.5 and how the OT functions within the context of the entire work. The author concludes that a variety of semantic effects are evoked by the authors continuous intertextual appeal to the OT: new creation, new exodus, new Jerusalem, new covenant, bridge, new temple-priesthood, paradise restored and renewed, inclusion of the nations, prophetic legitimization. The numerous allusions function to shape the readers perception of eschatological hope. Author Biography Dave Mathewson is a New Testament Instructor at Oak Hills Christian College in Bemidji, Minnesota. Review "Mathewson has written a stimulating and well thought-out contribution to the matter of intertextual correlation of Old and New Testament. A very hopeful feature of Mathewsons book is the summery of each chapter. Mathewson has provided a substantial contribution to the effort of understanding the culminating vision of the Christian Bible." -Thomas Hieke, University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany D-91275, Review of Biblical Literature, July 2004 "Mathewsons study is exegetical in orientation and demonstrates careful attention to detail. Mathewson also offers a number of suggestive exegetical and theological proposals that will have to be taken seriously in future study. Mathewsons contribution to the meaning and function of the Old Testament is a welcome contribution to the ongoing study of this intriguing and challenging book" - James P.
