Eden in the Book of Revelation

The book of Revelation engages the Genesis story of Eden at several points. In Revelation you find the tree of life, the serpent, and many other images from the Eden narrative. This exploratory thesis analyzes the potential uses of the Eden narrative in John's Apocalypse. This project examines Rev 2.7, 12.1-17, 20.1-6, 22.1-5, 14, and 19 while seeking to answer three questions: (1) What are the possible Eden allusions within Revelation? (2) How do these potential Eden allusions function within Revelation? (3) What practices of textual reuse do these potential Eden allusions display?
