About this book
"In this study, Brian Blount reads the book of Revelation through the lens of African American culture, drawing correspondences between Revelation's context and the longstanding suffering of African Americans. Applying the African American social, political, and religious experience as an interpretive cipher for the book's complicated imagery, he contends that Revelation is essentially a story of suffering and struggle amidst oppressive assimilation and that witnessing was the ethic by which John wished people to live."--Jacket.
