{"product_id":"9780811214469","title":"The Apocalypse","description":" The great epic poetic work of the New Testament, translated by the wonderful and highly esteemed translator and scholar Willis Barnstone. \u003ci\u003eThe Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e (1st-2nd century C.E.) is attributed to John of Patmos. It is revealed by a succession of angels, asserting that God will intervene decisively in the present evil age and reward his long-suffering elect. Reflecting the Roman occupation and oppression of the Jews, and influenced by the apocalyptic writings in the Old Testament's \u003ci\u003eBook of Daniel, The Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e is the great epic poetic work of the New Testament. As the translator Willis Barnstone puts it, \"Like the \u003ci\u003eBook of Job, The Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e is an extended poem, as densely poetic as Blake's \u003ci\u003eJerusalem\u003c\/i\u003e, Whitman's \u003ci\u003eLeaves of Grass\u003c\/i\u003e, or Gerard Manley Hopkins's \u003ci\u003eThe Wreck of the Deutschland\u003c\/i\u003e.\"  ","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016530968816,"sku":"9780811214469","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780811214469_p0.jpg?v=1763740808","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780811214469","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
