About this title

Synopsis

This innovative study of the use of gender in the Apocalypse of John pushes against the boundaries of feminist Biblical interpretation. Based on sociopolitical and literary readings of texts, it presents a challenging new way of reading the Apocalypse--incorporating fantasy theory to focus on death and desire.
