Summary

In this book the author attempts to move beyond merely identifying and substantiating Old Testament allusions in Revelation to considering how the presence of Old Testament allusions and echoes affects reading Rev. 21.1-22.5 and how the Old Testament functions within the context of the entire work. The author concludes that a variety of semantic effects are evoked by the author's continuous intertextual appeal to the Old Testament: 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.
