Hebrews and Revelation

This monograph demonstrates that the Epistle to the Hebrews and the Book of Revelation are hypertextual reworkings of the Acts of the Apostles. The strictly sequential dependence on Acts explains numerous surprising features of Hebrews and Revelation. This monograph offers a new solution to the problem of the identities of Hebrews and Revelation.
