The Book of Revelation is a highly political and justice-oriented text that speaks to a range of ancient and contemporary issues. This unit offers a close exegetical study of the Revelation in its historical and political setting. Particular attention will be given to the visual context of Revelation, noting how the author of Revelation utilizes and critiques ancient statuary, visual rhetoric and imperial iconography to expose evil and offer an alternate vision of God’s reign.
The class can be taken online, weekly on Monday evenings from 24 Feb, 6pm – 9pm.
