Content
2024-2025
This year's course will offer an ongoing reading of the Revelation of John, a text that is crucial not only for evaluating the Jewish roots of Christianity, but also for its rich reception and theological implications. We will therefore go through the text chapter by chapter, emphasizing the rhetorical techniques used and the theological implications of the author's words.
