About this episode
The episode features a discussion on the Book of Revelations with guest Henry Wallis, exploring its interpretations and implications.
We're joined by Henry Wallis of the FORMS podcast to guide us through one of the most obscure and challenging, yet arguably most consequential Biblical texts: the Book of Revelations. For the FULL episode, Discord access, and all bonus content support the show at http:///patreon.com/ThisWreckage Written by a Christian exile on an Aegean Island in a time of intense imperial Civil War and internal repression of Jews and Christians, the text is interpreted by scholars as a coded polemic against tyranny and assimilation, and by end-times preachers (and US officials) as a description of contemporary events. Now, Henry, the Orthodox scholar, Sean, the occasional Church-goer, and Andy, the non-practicing Reddit Athiest, will take on the text with fresh eyes. We read from the King James Bible and David Bentley Hart's translation of the New Testament Song: Blind Willie Johnson - John the Revelator
