Empire and Apocalypse by Stephen D Moore
In Empire and Apocalypse Stephen Moore offers us the most complete introduction yet to the emergent field of postcolonial biblical criticism. It includes an indispensable in-depth introduction to postcolonial theory and criticism together with a detailed survey of postcolonial biblical criticism. Next come three substantial exegetical chapters on the Gospels of Mark and John and the book of Revelation, which together demonstrate how postcolonial studies provide fresh conceptual resources and critical strategies for rethinking early Christianity's complex relations to the Roman Empire. Each of these three texts, to different degrees, Moore argues, mimic and replicate fundamental facets of Roman imperial ideology even while resisting and eroding it. The book concludes with an amply annotated bibliography whose main section provides a comprehensive listing of work done to date in postcolonial biblical criticism.
Moore, Stephen: - Name: Stephen Moore Website: www.littlealienexplorers.com Hi, my name is Stephen and originally hail from Dublin, Ireland. In a former life I was an accountant (I still dabble part-time!), but one day decided to move to Berlin along with my German wife and little son Franz. I have written some stories, but never dreamed of publishing them. But that changed one night as I was telling Franz a bed-time story. Each night I would make up a story for him which revolved around the little aliens visiting different regions of our beautiful planet and it's local wildlife. One night Franz told me that I should turn my stories into a book! The rest as they say, is history!!
