N2  - "This modern classic by Colin Hemer explores the seven letters in the book of Revelation against the historical background of the churches to which they were addressed. Based on literary, epigraphical, and archaeological sources and informed by Hemer's firsthand knowledge of the biblical sites, this superb study presents a clear picture of the New Testament world in the latter part of the first century and its significance for broader questions of church history."--BOOK JACKET
