Review of Stephen D. Moore, Untold Tales from the Book of Revelation: Sex and Gender, Empire and Ecology, Atlanta, SBL, 2014

Abstract

This volume brings together twenty years of Stephen Moore’s negotiations with Revelation, and is created to act as a “freestanding companion” (9) to his collected essays, The Bible in Theory: Critical and Post Critical Essays (2010). For those familiar with Moore’s work, there will be few surprises since, despite the title Untold Tales, each essay (barring the introduction), has appeared in previous publications. So here is the key appeal of this volume: to see Moore’s essays on Revelation feed off and into each other, each prefaced with his own reflective introduction.
