Yet, Shane J. Wood argues this conclusion over-exaggerates Rome’s significance and, thus, misses Revelation’s true target—the construction of the alter-empire through the destruction of the preeminent adversary: Satan. Applying insights from Postcolonial criticism and 'Examinations of Dominance,' this monograph challenges trajectories of New Testament Empire Studies by developing an Alter-Imperial paradigm that appreciates the complexities between the sovereign(s) and subject(s) of a society—beyond simply rebellion or acquiescence. Shane J. Wood analyses Roman propaganda, Jewish interaction with the Flavians, and Domitianic persecution to interpret Satan's release (Rev 20:1-10) as the climax of God's triumphal procession. Thus, Rome provides the imagery; Eden provides the target.Biblical interpretation series ;Volume 140.Alter-imperial paradigm :empire studies and the book of RevelationImperialismBiblical teachingImperialismBiblical teaching.228/.06Wood Shane J.1657352MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821116303321The alter-imperial paradigm4010743UNINA
