She grapples with Revelation’s most glaring theological and ethical liabilities yet persistently seeks its potential for resistance and hope. By blending queer and multicultural perspectives with attention to material culture, Huber shows us what’s at stake in interpreting the Apocalypse.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGreg Carey, Professor of New Testament, Lancaster Theological Seminary\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This monumental book is a wonderful interdisciplinary and intersectional reading of Revelation, bringing much needed insights from feminist, womanist and queer theory. As engaging as it is accessible, this volume will surely become the go-to commentary for a notoriously rich and challenging text.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeredith J. C. Warren, University of Sheffield\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"If you have questions about the gendered imagery in Revelation (and who doesn’t?), now you have a reliable guide in Lynn Huber. In this commentary, Huber’s grasp of Roman history, Greek translation, and modern interpretations of Revelation illumine John’s vision at every turn. At the same time, she manages to avoid simplistic answers that flatten John’s layered imagery. Essential reading for anyone who wants to dive deeper into Revelation’s mysteries.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan E. Hylen, Almar H. Shatford Professor of New Testament, Candler School of Theology, Emory University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In this important and comprehensive volume, Lynn Huber unseals the scrolls of two thousand years of interpretations of this confusing and confounding biblical book. Huber stands firm in the messiness and chaos of the apocalypse, as a reliable guide through the rubble. Through the engagement with diverse approaches and voices, Huber shows us how to ‘see and hear’ this text in new ways, ways that matter in the present. She also provides us with ways to talk back to the text, questioning translation, metaphors, historical assumptions, and heteropatriarchal and political manifestations of Revelation in the world. Huber is a clear, competent, and creative translator of Revelation for our current time.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTina Pippin, Wallace M.

Her feminist lens offers new insights that will surprise, disrupt, and challenge readers. All this is delivered with an inviting and approachable writing style. This critically important commentary is a brilliant resource for anyone, students and scholars alike, wanting to strengthen their understanding of the Book of Revelation.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobyn Whitaker (Acting Head of College), Associate Professor of New Testament, Pilgrim Theological College, University of Divinity, Australia\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments    ix\u003cbr\u003e List of Abbreviations    xiii\u003cbr\u003e List of Contributors    xvii\u003cbr\u003e Foreword: “\u003ci\u003eCome Eat of My Bread . . . and Walk in the Ways of Wisdom\u003c\/i\u003e”    xix\u003cbr\u003e      Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza\u003cbr\u003e Editor’s Introduction to Wisdom Commentary: “\u003ci\u003eShe Is a Breath of the Power of God\u003c\/i\u003e” (Wis 7:25)    xxiii\u003cbr\u003e      Barbara E.
