Revelation for the Modern Church: Avoiding the Babylon Creep

Episode Summary

This is Part 2 of the conversation with Dr. Scot McKnight about his new book Revelation for the Rest of Us: A Prophetic Call to Follow Jesus as a Dissident Disciple.

Episode Notes

What does the book of Revelation have to say to the modern church? In Part 2 of the conversation with Dr. Scot McKnight, we examine the visual propaganda machine of the Roman empire and how the author of Revelation makes great use of those images to mock the arrogance of Rome. But this is also a book about becoming dissident disciples. When we read this book as a letter to the churches who were dangerously close to allowing the "Babylon Creep" into the church, we hear a strong warning to the Western Church.
