After more than a century of debate about the significance of
imperial cults for the interpretation of Revelation, this is the
first study to examine both the archaeological evidence and the
Biblical text in depth. Friesen argues that a detailed analysis of
imperial cults as they were practiced in the first century CE in
the region where John was active allows us to understand John's
criticism of his society's dominant values. He demonstrates the
importance of imperial cults for society at the time when
Revelation was written, and shows the ways in which John refuted
imperial cosmology through his use of vision, myth, and
eschatological expectation.
