    [synopsis] => Much of the literature on the book of Revelation paints a frightening                apocalyptic vision of the end times. Michael Battle offers an alternative look at                Revelation in this new work, seeing it instead as a hopeful call to bring heaven on                earth. Battle explores the problematic imagery found in Revelation before showing                how similar problems play out in our contemporary world. Battle sees Revelation as a                guide that shows us that we can live out God's call for heaven on earth by living                in community with one another, as exhibited through the writings of Martin Luther                King Jr., Desmond Tutu, Rowan Williams, and Ubuntu theology. He writes, "I seek to                imagine in my particular Christian context how a view of heaven need not lead to                culture wars and further excuses for oppressing others. Heaven, as envisioned by                John of Patmos, has much greater purpose.�
