Scholars generally see the aspiration of the Roman Empire and the
imperial cult in Asia Minor as the great villain in "Revelation",
treating the depiction of a cosmic conflict in the book mostly as
metaphors that hold little or no explanatory power in the story.
This book pursues the conviction that the cosmic conflict imagery
is the primary and controlling element in the account. Such a
reading puts the war-in-heaven theme in the foreground and calls on
interpreters to pay more attention to the heavenly being whose
attempt to subvert the truth about the divine government is the
unremitting concern in "Revelation". This book redresses the
distortion that results from leaving the larger conflict theme
underexposed. Having first developed the story line, it aims is to
show that the phrase 'Pistis Iesou' in "Revelation" is best
understood when "Revelation" is read as a theodicy of God's
handling of the reality of evil.
