Read the book of Revelation from a new perspective.
As John in Revelation warns Christians to come out of the corruption and idolatry of the Roman Empire in his day, so Christians today are called to come out of and resist empire – those political structures that oppress the marginalized and compromise Christian life.
Lecturer J. Nelson Kraybill, president emeritus of Anabaptist Biblical Seminary in his five thought provoking lectures asks questions such as:
What does apocalyptic mean?
Are you in bed with the beast?
Will you worship empire or the Living God?
How do we come out from empire?
How will the nations be healed?
Kraybill boldly brings these questions to bear on the conflict in Israel and Palestine.
The course is fully asynchronous; participants can access the pre-recorded video lectures and readings at their own convenience.
Available for credit or audit.
