I'm not a reader, much less a fan, of the book of Revelation in the Bible -- too much effort to predict who "wins" and gets taken up in the Rapture and who loses and gets left behind. And since nobody really knows what all the esoteric symbols mean, that turns into self-serving predictions about how "my people" are the ones who'll be saved. This guy offers a stunning alternative framing: it's not about the end of the world at all. By encouraging us to read not with the eyes of privilege as many of us do, but instead to read with the eyes of the marginalized faith communities addressed by the imprisoned/exiled author, he proposes a completely different interpretation. Instead of a prediction, it's a manual for how communities of marginalized people can survive and resist while under occupation by a Domination System intent on obliterating them. I found it compelling and have ordered other books by his sources/mentors to keep exploring it. Intriguing and powerful stuff.
