| Résumé: | The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society’sRevelation: Its Grand Climax at Hand!is a substantial commentary of John’s Apocalypse (319 pages) with a remarkably wide distribution - more than 16.6 million copies of its various editions were in print by 1988. Yet because of the organization’s reclusive nature there is minimal dialogue with the academy and by all appearances no sustained analysis of this particular book by biblical scholars. This paper offers a commentary on a commentary, using Stanley Fish’s theory of interpretive communities as a way into this idiosyncratic study of the Apocalypse. |
