Breaking Open the Seals: An Outlook on the Book of Revelation and its Artistic Inspiration
Journal Title: International Journal of English and Literature (IJEL) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
The last book of the Bible is the most enigmatic of all the other texts. It is the most literary and the one which has inspired art, literature and architecture for many centuries. The vocabulary of Revelation has crept into popular culture too. Nobody is unfamiliar with “Armageddon”, “Babylon” or “the Beast”, which are all borrowed from The Book of Revelation or The Book of Apocalypse. This paper tries to examine the apocalyptic tradition to which Revelation belongs, and its literary quality.
