This book, first published in 1997, examines the influence of angelology on the christology of the Apocalypse of John. It argues that in the Apocalypse Jesus has the form and the function of an angel, but is also clearly portrayed as divine. This dual representation upholds monotheism while providing a means for Jesus to be present in visible form to his Church.
This book, first published in 1997, examines the influence of angelology on the christology of the Apocalypse of John. In the Apocalypse, Jesus appears in glorious form reminiscent of angels in Jewish and Christian literature in the period between 200 BCE and 200 CE. Dr Carrell asks what significance this has for the christology of the Apocalypse. He concludes that by portraying Jesus in such a way that he has the form and function of an angel, and yet is also divine, the Apocalypse both upholds monotheism and at the same time provides a means for Jesus to be presented in visible, glorious form to his Church.
