Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, “The Apocalypse of John: Its World of Vision and Our Own?”, lecture at the College of the Holy Cross (published 16 July 2015)
“In this lecture, Schüssler Fiorenza examines the Book of Revelation, also called the Apocalypse of John, considering both gender readings and imperialistic interpretations. The last book in the New Testament, Revelation is considered one of the most interesting fields in New Testament Studies but also one of the most complex and difficult for modern readers to understand. She said, 'The Apocalypse is best read as a symphony of images and is best heard and not just read.'”

Dale Martin, “Apocalyptic and Resistance”, YaleCourses (published 2 Sept. 2009)
“The Apocalypse, or the Revelation of John, shares many of the traits found in apocalyptic literature: it operates in dualisms--earthly events contrasted with heavenly ones, present time with the imminent future, and it calls for cultural and political resistance. Its structure is like a spiral, presenting cycle after cycle of building tension and reprieve, so that the reader who experiences the text also experiences crisis and then catharsis. Politically, Revelation equates Rome with Babylon and the empire as the domain of Satan.”
Dale Martin, “Apocalyptic and Accommodation”, YaleCourses (published on 2 Sept. 2009)
“The Apocalypse of John showed an anti-Roman, politically revolutionary perspective. This is in contrast with Paul's writing in Romans 13, which calls for submission to governmental authorities - although passages in 1 Corinthians may be said to contradict this. 2 Thessalonians, a pseudonymous letter, also preaches a politically conservative and accommodative message, as does 1 Peter. Interestingly, these letters do not discard or ignore apocalypticism but use it quite differently from the author of Revelation to further their message of political conservatism. 2 Peter seems to be a letter dating from the second century, from the post-apostolic age. In 2 Peter, the apocalypse is no longer imminent and is not used to further any admonition. Instead, it has become simply a part of Christian doctrine.”
