Unveiling Empire aims to be a fresh look, with new insights and interpretations, at the apocalyptic visions described in The Book of Revelation.’
“What Walter Wink has done for the Powers, Howard-Brook and Gwyther have done for the Apocalypse! In their brilliant new book they take us on an amazing journey to explore ancient traditions and modern realities in light of the mysterious apocalyptic images in the Bible.”
—David Andrews, author of Building a Better World
“At last! A treatment of the Apocalypse which speaks to us personally. politically, spiritually. But reader beware: This is not a ‘safe’ book. Its message will challenge our loyalties, but it may also guide our paths from fallen Babylon to the New Jerusalem.”
—Paul Anderson, Yale University
“Superb both in its historical study of the antecedents and contexts of the Book of Revelation and its analysis of our own contemporary preoccupation with apocalyptic. Howard-Brook and Gwyther understand that the Book of Revelation is an exercise in ecclesiology. That is, how to be the Church in the face of a powerful and seductive empire? Unveiling Empire maintains a sharp edge of critical discipline and obedience that belongs to the truth of the gospel.”
—Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary
“Those who work to expose and end global corporate rule will be fascinated by the thesis put forward by Wes Howard-Brook and
Anthony Gwyther that the book of Revelation presents a prophetic call to Christians everywhere to refuse to succumb to the seductions of the global corporate empire that now holds the world captive to greed and materialism.”
—David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Ruled the World
