Allan R. Bevere

I want to especially draw attention to Allan R. Bevere’s series on the meaning and significance of the book of Revelation.

He says:

To speak of reading Revelation from a Wesleyan perspective is not to suggest that such a reading is unique from other Christian interpretive traditions. It is to affirm that everyone approaches Scripture with assumptions and a interpretive posture.

Allan draws from Joel Green’s book, Reading Scripture as Wesleyans.

Here are the posts in the series:

• Reading Revelation as Wesleyans #1: Introduction
• Reading Revelation as Wesleyans #2: Seeing and Responding to the World
• Reading Revelation as Wesleyans #3: The Worship of God in All of Life
• Reading Revelation as Wesleyans #4: The Need to Resist Competing Stories
• Reading Revelation as Wesleyans #5: A Challenge to the Church and a Critique of the World
• Reading Revelation as Wesleyans #6: The Idolatry of Wealth
• Reading Revelation as Wesleyans #7: Discipleship Is Costly When Resisting the Empire (Final Post)

It is a series well worth reading.
