Title: God and Empire Author: John Dominic Crossan Narrator: Derek Perkins Format: mp3 Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins Release date: 04-28-20 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 41 ratings Genres: Church & State Publisher's Summary: In contrast to the oppressive Roman military occupation of the first century, Crossan examines the meaning of the non-violent Kingdom of God prophesized by Jesus and the equality advocated by Paul to the early Christian churches. Crossan contrasts these messages of peace with the misinterpreted apocalyptic vision from the Book of Revelation, which has been misrepresented by modern right-wing theologians and televangelists to justify US military actions in the Middle East.
