This book brings together the text with many of the artworks it has inspired; from exquisite medieval illuminated manuscripts and the graphic woodcuts of Albrecht Durer, to paintings by Turner and William Blake. This powerful text has fascinated people for centuries and continues to do so into the 21st century. The text takes the form of an address to the seven churches of Asia, and a warning to them to stay faithful. This is followed by an extended prophecy which relates a time of war and disaster, a final judgement of the wicked, and the dawn of a new heaven and earth.

Throughout the Middle Ages, John the Evangelist, identified as the author of both the Book of Revelation and the most profound and theologically informed of the four Gospels, provided monks and nuns with a figure of inspiration and an exemplar of vision and virginity. Rather than the historical apostle, this book's protagonist is a persona of the Evangelist established in theology, the liturgy, and devotional practice: the model mystic, who, by virtue of his penetrating insight, was seen as having become a mirror image of Christ. In St. John the Divine, Jeffrey Hamburger identifies a remarkable set of images from the ninth to the fifteenth centuries that identify the inspired Evangelist so closely with the deity that he appears as his living image and embodiment. Hamburger explores the ways these representations of St. John in the guise of Christ elucidate the significance of images as such in medieval theology and mysticism. Above all, he shows how these artworks, presented together for the first time, epitomize the relationship between the visible and the invisible: between ideas, however abstract, and the concrete images that medieval Christians confronted face-to-face. -- Publisher's description.
