The Church in Revelation and Today

About The Course

In this course we engage with the Book of Revelation with critical awareness of the hermeneutical methods used. We focus particularly on the messages to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 and the identity and role of the two witnesses in Revelation 11 in light of Revelation as a whole. We explorehow Revelation contributes to New Testament ecclesiology more broadly. We consider the relationship between church and culture, including critical assessment of different paradigms (such as the two kingdoms, countercultural, and transformationist models), and explore the contextualisation of the church into specific contexts, including fresh expressions of church. We consider our own context and practice, reflecting on how ourcontext impacts our interpretation of Revelation and how Revelation speaks into contemporary ecclesial practice, both to challenge and affirm.
