| Résumé : | In this lively and accessible introduction, J. Nelson Kraybill places the book of Revelation in its first-century historical context, opening a window into the political, economic, and social realities of the early church. He also explores the relevance of John's apocalypse for the spiritual life of believers today by focusing on twenty-first-century issues of empire, worship, and allegiance. Photographs and other visuals illustrate the narrative throughout, and discussion questions invite further personal or group reflection. |
