This course explores the Book of Revelation as an attempt by the Jewish Christian prophet John to open his congregations’ eyes to what Roman imperial politics, economy, and ideology look like in the light of God’s claim upon all human beings and God’s vision for human community, and thus to guide these congregations into a more faithful response to God and a clearer witness to the world. This reading becomes the basis for our application of John’s model and challenge to twenty-first century Christians and congregations.
