The Revelation Project offers a fresh perspective led by Dr. Chip Bennett and Dr. Warren Gage on the Book of Revelation, emphasizing understanding the text itself as a source of hope centered on Jesus Christ, rather than focusing on fear, authorship and dating. This study explores the connections between Revelation and the Old Testament, particularly the book of Joshua and the story of the Battle of Jericho, suggesting that Revelation is a retelling of Joshua’s narrative. The project reads Revelation alongside the Gospel of John, revealing its literary structure, noting its chiastic patterns and classifying it as a classical comedy, highlighting the triumph of good.
