Revelation with Wes Howard-Brook part 1

In this episode, Rob discusses the book of Revelation with Wes Howard-Brook. Wes' understanding of what Revelation means for the people of God today may well be the most refined and provocative. This is one interview you won't want to miss, and you will likely need to replay several times as you process the implications for the book of Revelation today. 

Wes Howard-Brook has been teaching, writing and living at the intersection of church, academy and the world since 1988. After a career as an attorney for the US federal government and Washington state governments, Wes left law practice in 1985 to earn a Master of Divinity degree at Seattle University. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, he was part of Galilee Circle, an ecumenical Christian small community, which sought to live the radical Word of the Gospel in both personal and public ways, including a series of nonviolent direct actions at various private and public places of warmaking and imperial violence. He taught Bible and theology at Seattle University from 2003-2021. Now retired, Wes continues his Scripture work via a YouTube channel, Radical Bible. 

He has written, co-written or co-edited seven books, including two on the Gospel of John: Becoming Children of God: John’s Gospel and Radical Discipleship and John’s Gospel and the Renewal of the Church.  He is co-author of Unveiling Empire: Reading Revelation Then and Now. Wes’ recent project is the two-volumes “Come Out, My People!:” God’s Call Out of Empire In the Bible and Beyond. and Empire Baptized: How “Christianity” Embraced What Jesus Rejected, 2nd-5th Centuries. He has also written for numerous publications, including Sojourners, The Other Side, Tikkun Daily, and several Catholic Worker newspapers.
