Join us for a deep dive into the experience of resistance at the heart of the book of Revelation. Led by the Rev. Kathy Monson Lutes, we’ll talk about how this ancient, apocalyptic book can help us claim defiant hope today.
Many people have absorbed the message from our popular culture that Revelation is a book of coded messages that, if you could just decode them correctly, would tell you secrets about the end of the world. Scholars would argue with that view. Revelation was written in a kind of code -- because the Christians who wrote it were being persecuted by the empire. So we get to read it as resistance literature, and claim some of their defiant hope for our own journey now.
