"This study guide explores the relevance of the Book of Revelation, and the continuing fascination that it creates for readers from both secular and faith backgrounds. Stephen D. Moore highlights the transcultural effect that Revelation has not only on Christian imaginings of the afterlife and depictions of Satan, but on every culture formed by Christianity, forming a potent idea of what is to come in the world's eventual destruction. Moore introduces all the key aspects of Revelation before offering a guide that considers what Revelation might mean for our present, as opposed merely to the context of the text's creation, Moore turns to empire-critical, postcolonial, feminist and ecological readings, arguing that all four themes intertwine intricately in Revelation. In reflecting on the text's reception throughout the centuries, with a culmination in its impact on 20th- and 21st-century US culture, the analysis of the context of the book's initial creation, and applying the aforementioned contemporary themes and tropes in a miniature commentary on the text, Moore writes for all those who are drawn to this apocalyptic culmination to the Christian belief system"--
