The People of God in the Apocalypse: Discourse, Structure, and Exegesis (2004) is a book by Stephen W. Pattemore.

Abstract

"This book examines how the original audience of the Apocalypse would have heard themselves portrayed in the visions of chs 4-22, and in what directions it would have motivated them. The challenge is found to be that of following Christ's example of faithful witness, even to the point of death, and of resisting rival claimants to the allegience of the faithful. Stephen Pattemore uses Relevance Theory, a development in the linguistic field of pragmatics, to help understand Revelation against the background of allusion to other, biblical and non-biblical texts."--Publisher description.
