ILLUMINATION BOOK AWARD Gold Medal, Theology "This constructive theologian creatively and critically continues to bring first-century scriptural horizons into meaningful engagement with twenty-first-century existential realities." -Amos Yong, Religious Studies Review, Fuller Theological Seminary "Using deep-interpretation and dream reading Catherine Keller succeeds in confronting the terminal forces of destruction of our present time with the message of the mysterious and terrifying Book of Revelation. A brilliant work taking the apocalypse in the double sense of the word as revelation and end-time seriously, full of surprising discoveries." --Jürgen Moltmann "This book plays wonderfully between 'the overstated and the unspeakable,' to reveal deep patterns between the world of John's apocalypse and our own, calling us to the possibility of a last chance for our increasingly uninhabitable planet." --Kathryn Tanner, Yale Divinity School "Catherine Keller is one of the greatest living theologians and in Facing Apocalypse she opens up that oft-hidden and neglected text of John's Apocalypse, horses, dragons, and all. By holding the apocalyptic text and the signs of the times in a generative and revelatory tension, Keller makes this ancient text shake and quake our present moment. Read this book and don't be left behind." --Tripp Fuller, host, Homebrewed Christianity podcast "Of special relevance to clergy, seminary students and non-specialist general readers within the Christian community, Facing Apocalypse: Climate, Democracy, and Other Last Chances is an extraordinary and thought-provoking read.
