"In the book of Revelation, John appeals to the faithful to avoid the temptations
of wealth, which he connects with evil and disobedience within secular society. New
Testament scholars have traditionally viewed his somewhat radical stance as a reaction
to the social injustices and idolatry of the imperial Roman cults of the day. Mark
D. Mathews argues that John's rejection of affluence was instead shaped by ideas in
the Jewish literature of the Second Temple period which associated the rich with the
wicked and viewed the poor as the righteous. Mathews explores how traditions preserved
in the Epistle of Enoch and later Enochic texts played a formative role in shaping
John's theological perspective. This book will be of interest to those researching
poverty and wealth in early Christian communities and the relationship between the
traditions preserved in the Dead Sea Scrolls and New Testament"--
