JUSTIN JEFFCOAT SCHEDTLER
A Heavenly Chorus
The Dramatic Function of Revelation's Hymns
[Ein himmlischer Chor. Die dramaturgische Funktion der Hymnen in der
Johanneso enbarung.]
Published in English.
The claim that Revelation's hymns function as did Classical tragic choral lyrics insofar as they
comment upon or interpret the surrounding narrative has become axiomatic in studies of
Revelation.
Justin Je coat Schedtler marks an advance in this line of inquiry by o ering an exegetical
analysis of Revelation's hymns alongside a presentation of the forms and functions of ancient
tragic choruses and choral lyrics. Evaluating the hymns in light of the varieties and
complexities of ancient tragic choruses, he demonstrate that they are not best evaluated in
terms of choral lyrics generally, but in terms of dramatic hymns in particular, insofar as they
constitute mythological-theological re ections on the surrounding narrative, and function to
situate the surrounding dramatic activity in a particular mythological-theological contexts.
