Synopsis
Contributing Authors

This study offers an in-depth examination of the Qumran War Scroll (1QM) alongside John’s Apocalypse, which takes the concept of Holy War into consideration. It delineates between ancient Jewish and nascent Christian apocalyptic and theological sensibilities, and breaks the conventional barrier between Qumran studies and New Testament studies.

In this study, David Chapman Harris compares the Qumran War Scroll with John’s Apocalypse through the lens of the literary and ideological theme of Holy War. Using sound literary analysis, close exegetical readings and comparison, historical analysis, and hypothetical reconstruction, the author justifies reading Revelation as a War Scroll, providing grounding to an ongoing debate. He argues that Revelation’s Christological dimension has a distinctive impact on Holy War discourse, inflicting the martyr theology of Revelation.
