¥Evangelicals are more skeptical about alleged allusions to Greco-Roman
paganism:
–Partly due to biblical teaching against idolatry
–Partly to impression some commentators give that author of Revelation was
faking a vision
¥I suggest another spin on this data, that God (the bookÕs ultimate
author) was communicating to his Greco-Roman readers
in terms they would understand, since most of
them were raised in paganism.
