Want to Read $ 9.99"One of the key themes in Revelation is about who you worship, because the object of your worship is a sign of your true allegiance."-Robyn J. Whitaker, Revelation for Normal People: A Guide to the Strangest and Most Dangerous Book in the Bible (The Bible for Normal People)
"Revelation is a highly political, but also deeply theological, text. It offers us a profound way to think about evil as something found in structures and systems, and to ponder what an ethical response to such evil might be."-Robyn J. Whitaker, Revelation for Normal People: A Guide to the Strangest and Most Dangerous Book in the Bible (The Bible for Normal People)
"Justice and worship are intertwined in John's theology. In modern terms, John is saying that worship is not something that stays within the walls of the church. In John's theology, the songs and rituals enact a worldview that results in real world-changing action. To sing these words and neither witness to God nor act for justice is a disconnect that John cannot imagine."-Robyn J. Whitaker, Revelation for Normal People: A Guide to the Strangest and Most Dangerous Book in the Bible (The Bible for Normal People)
