Robert C. (Robby) Waddell
The Spirit in the Book of
Revelation
The investigation centres on the role of the Spirit
in Revelation, which the author considers is best defined as the Spirit
of Prophecy. A survey of scholarship on the pneumatology of the
Apocalypse is followed by a study of intertextual connections. The
author’s own religious context within Pentecostalism then informs a
possible hermeneutic that is faithful to the ethos of the movement.
Biblical and literary studies are situated within the context of a
Pentecostal community as attention is paid to the prophecy concerning
the temple and the witnesses in Rev 11. This key passage is shown to
form the theological as well as the literary centre of the Spirit’s role
in Revelation.
