Jesus within the powerful and attractive context of a Greco-Roman world, already mirrored in the participation of Israel’s martyrs, especially during the time of Antiochus IV, in the saving effects of the Lamb, slain before the foundation of the world (:).” In this light, it is easier to see how Revelation speaks to contemporary Christians who try to negotiate a world with its own powerful and attractive temptations. Moloney’s last word is one of hope for a positive outcome in this journey. He notes that “We do not have to wait for an imminent eschatological climax to all of history for a victory that gives life and light ... God has transformed the human story, while continuing his perennial saving presence, in and through the death and resurrection of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. Amen.” The words on the dedication page of this book come from the Roman Ritual for the Order of a Deacon: “Believe what you read, teach what you believe, and practice what you preach.” Anyone who makes use of this commentary will be able to give thanks for one who took these words to heart when he was ordained a deacon, and then a priest, more than fifty years ago. Amen.
