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.
