Book Synopsis Ekphrasis, Vision, and Persuasion in the Book of Revelation by : Robyn J. Whitaker
Book excerpt: Robyn. J. Whitaker interprets the Book of Revelation within the context of ancient rhetoric and religion. She argues that the author of Revelation uses a popular rhetorical tool, ekphrasis, to paint word-pictures of God that compete with material images to both critique image-making and simultaneously make an absent God present.
