Apocalyptic Ecology The Book of Revelation, the Earth, and the FutureMarch 13, 2018 By Collegeville Institute Micah Kiel Collegeville, Minnesota, Liturgical Press, 2017 Visit this title on the publisher's website. Resident Scholar Fall 2015 The author of the book of Revelation struggled, as we do today, to live out a Christian faith in the context of an empire that trampled and destroyed the earth and its creatures. In this book, Micah D. Kiel will look at how and why Revelation was written, along with how it has been interpreted across the centuries, to come to an understanding of its potential contribution to a modern environmental ethic. While the book of Revelation is replete with images of destruction of the earth, Kiel shows readers, through Revelation’s ancient context, a message of hope that calls for the care of and respect for the environment.
