Episode 18: Myths, Story-Telling, and the Politics of Meaning
Update: 2020-11-23
Description
In our sixth episode in our study of Revelation and the politics of Jesus, we’re going to to look at Revelation 12-15, where John describes the eye-widening account of the Woman, the Dragon, the Beast, and the bowls. What could such a story possibly say to our politics today? We'll be making the case this episode that far from disappear, myths are around to stay. They shape the movies that Hollywood makes and the ideals our politicians describe to us. In fact, all politics are story based, offering their parties myth about how the world will be saved when they gain power. Yet what if the story John tells us in Revelation 12-15 is not just another myth, but the true story? And what if part of our calling, to follow the politics of Jesus, looks like proclaiming the good news of the true story of Jesus to the world? Join us as we explore the Politics of Jesus in our study of Revelation, and be sure to check out our digital companion bible study, available at www.burningwordpodcast.com
