In this book, Andrew R. Guffey argues that part of the confusion surrounding the book of Revelation stems from the fact it was first and foremost a work to be “seen,” but that few interpreters address the visuality of the book.
Guffey describes a connection between rhetorical discussions of ekphrasis, visual culture, and John's images-a “concurrence of images”- using theory and thick historical description. His analysis situates the text and its rhetorical performativity in the context of ancient visual and rhetorical culture, arguing that Revelation is not merely a work of literary craft, but also of visual culture.
