Context Matters

Paving the Way to Understand Revelation

Episode Summary

Dr. Scot McKnight has been a New Testament professor for more than 4 decades. He is a prolific writer crafting books and commentaries for both the academy and the church.

Episode Notes

Dr. Scot McKnight recently published a book called Revelation for the Rest of Us. But it is the subtitle that is intriguing: A Prophetic Call to Follow Jesus as a Dissident Disciple.  Dissident disciples? The book of Revelation? Politics and theology coming together in one episode? In part 1 of our conversation we learn about why Dr. McKnight felt like he needed to write this particular book in this time in history. And he throws in an amazing comment about the author, John, when describing how many allusions he makes to Old Testament imagery: "[John's] soul inebriated with Scripture that he can't speak without describing things in biblical ways."
