Session # 2 Revelations - Visions, Prophecy & Politics in the Book of Revelation  by Elaine Pagels
Ch. 1 - Challenging the Evil Empire, Rome
"The Book of Revelation is the strangest book in the Bible - and the most controversial. Instead of stories and moral teaching, it offers only visions - dreams and nightmares. ... Exploring how this book has fascinated readers for two thousand years tells us much about ourselves and about how religion evokes such powerful responses - for better and for worse - to this day.." p 1
