Carey presents an introduction to the elements of apocalyptic discourse in the Hebrew Bible, the intertestamental texts of the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, and the Jewish and Christian apocalyptic texts. He seeks to help modern readers perplexed by the rampant and somewhat outrageous depiction and interpretation of apocalyptic literature to see apocalyptic discourse as a flexible set of resources that early Jews and Christians could employ for a variety of persuasive tasks. Carey examines each of the literary works that exhibit apocalyptic discourse. He briefly introduces the date and language of each text and shows its basic contents. Then he examines the particular topics and purposes of the work. Carey concludes by showing a way to read the particular example of apocalyptic discourse as a whole in its own setting with its own purposes. Carey invokes discourse as a category of study in an attempt to bring together the literary, ideological, and social dimensions of apocalyptic language. He sees the genius of apocalyptic discourse in its ability to bring its audience into otherwise inaccessible mysteries concerning the future and the heavenly realms. As theology, apocalyptic discourse engages life's greatest questions-the nature of God, the desire for justice, and the frustrations of human finitude. As poetry, it expresses the theological imagination in vivid symbols and conventional literary forms.Binding Type: Paperback

Great shirt for big and tall fellas
As a bigger guy standing at 6'1" and 350 lbs, finding clothes that fit well can be a challenge. However, the Van Heusen big and tall shirt exceeded my expectations. It fit perfectly, with a good length that stayed tucked in when wearing a suit. Not only did it look great, but it also felt comfortable. I was so impressed that I've already purchased three more shirts in different colors. Highly recommended for big and tall men looking for stylish and well-fitting attire.

Great birthday present. Beautiful print.
This is a lovely shirt with a smart and dressy pattern. Bought it as a gift for a friend who is hard to fit, being very tall and slim. Perfect fit. Really appreciated this thoughtful find. Buying more for his birthday next year.

Handsome shirt
I love the material and pattern! I ordered the long fit does measure 31. I wish it was a little bit longer. I have an unusually long torso, but the shirt does fit and it looks great on so thank you very much!!

Fits perfectly
I have a 48-50 chest, with very long arms (38") and find it almost impossible to find a shirt that fits. Although the shirt is a little long (it gets tucked in so not really an issue), it is one of the best, and most economically priced dressed shirts I have ever found. Highly recommend it!
