Huber argues that the visionary aspect of Revelation, with its use of metaphorical thinking and language, is the crux of the text's persuasive power. Emerging from a context that employs imagery to promote imperial mythologies, Revelation draws upon a long tradition of using feminine imagery as a tool of persuasion. It does so even while shaping a community identity in contrast to the dominant culture and in exclusive relationship with the Lamb. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy drawing upon the work of medieval and modern visionaries, Huber answers a call to examine the way 'real' readers engage with biblical texts. Revealing how Revelation continues to persuade audiences through appeals to the visual and provocative imagery she offers a new sense of how the text metaphorical language simultaneously limits and invites new meaning, unfurling a range of interpretations.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45087925698711,"sku":"9780567662613","price":4969.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780567662613.webp?v=1767143120","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/thinking-and-seeing-with-women-in-revelation-9780567662613","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
