G. K. Chesterton famously said, ‘Though St John saw many strange monsters in his visions, he saw no creature so wild as one of his own commentators’. The Book of Revelation has been described as the Bible’s ‘prime visionary text’ and a charter for “the Principle of Hope”. But its legacy is ambiguous. It can challenge injustice, offering a radical and subversive perspective on situations of oppression and evil. It can also appear to collude with violence, terror and oppression. How do we learn to read this book with sensitivity and imagination? How do we read this strange book as Christian scripture?
