Imperial Cults and the Apocalypse of John: Reading Revelation in the Ruins


Overview

Friesen argues that a detailed analysis of imperial cults as they were practiced in the region where John was active allows us to understand John's criticism of his society's dominant values. Friesen's study of imperial cults and Revelation is the first to examine in depth both the archaelogical evidence and the Biblical text.
