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. 410 0$aBiblical interpretation series ;$vVolume 140. 517 3 $aAlter-imperial paradigm :$eempire studies and the book of Revelation 606 $aImperialism$xBiblical teaching 615 0$aImperialism$xBiblical teaching. 676 $a228/.06 700 $aWood$b Shane J.$01657352 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821116303321 996 $aThe alter-imperial paradigm$94010743 997 $aUNINA
