QUOTE : The book of Revelation is now widely and correctly seen as one of the great documents of early Christian political theology, offering a further account of the victory of the creator God over the rebel powers of the world, a victory rooted in God’s determination to restore and fulfil the creational intent and accomplished through the self-giving death of the ‘lamb’. Revelation joins the rest of early Christianity in announcing that Jesus is lord of earth as well as heaven, and that at his name every knee shall bow.
