The older ways of understanding the Apocalypse of John-even the experience of the prophecy itself-no longer works. The Apocalypse of John and Liberation Theology in Africa offers a new paradigm in interpreting the Apocalypse in Africa. Africa is an enigmatic, Christian continent, yet very corrupt and poor. This book makes it clear that the Bible has taken a front seat in legitimating of colonization as it constructed a 'self validating' world in which domination appeared normative and permanent. While the Bible in the hands of the Africans is reducible to a sociological current, it becomes clear that it cannot be read in isolation from our context.

This book brings new ways of reading for the liberation of the African continent.
