Apocalypse and Allegiance: Worship, Politics, and… von J. Nelson Kraybill
This book offers a thematic approach to the study of Revelation. Although each chapter focuses on a section of Revelation, they do not occur in the order in which those sections appear in Revelation. Kraybill emphasizes the anti-imperial rhetoric and nonviolent resistence teachings of Revelation. The book is accessible to laypeople and offers good food for thought at times.
A commentary on the book of Revelations that for once is not about pre-millennial prophecies imported into the present day, but rather one that deals with the social and political environment at the time St John was writing. A valuable book today therefore not only for understanding Revelations in its historical context, but also on how a Christian is to live as an "alien, an exile in a foreign land".
What makes an intentional pilgrimage? How does a pilgrimage differ from any other travel or trip? J. Nelson Kraybill shares his preparation and twelve-day pilgrimage along the Pilgrim's Way outside of London.
On foot, the author enters Canterbury just in time of a Pentecost service at that city's greatest cathedral. He has spent ten days on this 140-mile trek historically known as the Pilgrim's Way. Each morning Kraybill meets different walking partners. After reading scripture and having prayer at a local church, they hike eastward and discuss topics of Christian discipleship from the Gospel of Luke: conversion, prayer, celebration, community, fasting, money, doubt, risk-taking, peacemaking, etc.
This book also contains photographs of the various places along with the persons with whom the author walked each day. This is not a substitute for a pilgrimage, but it does come close!… (mehr)
