Good woman versus bad woman,
By
This review is from: The Choice Between Two Cities: Whore, Bride, and Empire in the Apocalypse (Harvard Theological Studies) (Paperback)
Rossing develops the theme that the whore of Babylon and the bride of Revelation represent two cites. The whore represents evil Babylon (the i.e.Roman empire), while the bride represents the New Jerusalem.She traces the literary imagery of Revelation to the Old Testament and Greek and Roman wisdom traditions. In the wisdom tradition, the two woman motif (topos) invites the reader/hearer to choose between the good woman of wisdom and the bad woman of licentiousness. The reader of Revelation is also given a choice - choose the evil woman or choose the good woman. This book does a very good job at discussing the good woman/bad woman theme of Revelation. After reading this book, I definately choose New Jerusalem. down with the evil emprire of greed and injustice! |
