The Political Power of Apocalyptic Literature (Robyn Whitaker)
In this episode of Spiritual Misfits, Will Small interviews Robin Whitaker, a biblical scholar specialising in the Book of Revelation. They discuss Robin's journey of faith, her experiences as a spiritual misfit, and the relevance of apocalyptic literature in today's world. The conversation delves into the political implications of Revelation, the nature of divine violence, and the hopeful imagery found in the final chapters of the text. Robin emphasises the importance of understanding Revelation as a critique of power and injustice, rather than a tool for justifying violence. They also touch on the significance of a hermeneutic of love, the creative engagement of scripture by figures like Jesus and Paul, and the challenges of introducing children to biblical stories in a way that is life-giving and positive.
