Michael J. H. Godfrey

Babylon's Cap (eBook, ePUB)

Reflections on the Book of Revelation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

To read Revelation for meaning today we need to recognize and accept that the Christian community itself has often become the wearer of Babylon's Cap of oppression. This is a reading of Revelation that seeks to hear the voices of postcolonial pain, while never pretending to be a postcolonial analysis.
