A succession of angels reveals that God will intervene decisively in the present evil age and reward his long-suffering elect. Reflecting the Romans' oppression of Christians and Jews, and influenced by the apocalyptic writings of the Old Testament's Book of Daniel, \u003cem\u003eThe Apocalypse\u003c\/em\u003e is the great epic poetic work of the New Testament. As the translator Willis Barnstone puts it, \"Like the Book of Job, the Apocalypse is an extended poem, as densely poetic as Blake's \u003cem\u003eJerusalem\u003c\/em\u003e, Whitman's \u003cem\u003eLeaves of Grass\u003c\/em\u003e, or Gerard Manley Hopkins's \u003cem\u003eThe Wreck of the Deutschland\u003c\/em\u003e. It is rendered in blank verse, remarkably translated by Willis Barnstone, the distinguished scholar, translator, and poet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811214469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.87h x 4.71w x 0.18d","brand":"Willis Barnstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36644295147676,"sku":"9780811214469","price":9.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_09008aea-7020-4b56-8e10-f82e64bd6306.jpg?v=1603858292","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-apocalypse-9780811214469","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
