The Walls of Babylon is a radically revisionist reading of the
Revelation to John, offering startling insights into the historical
roots of Gnosticism, the social dynamics of early Christianity, and
the shattering impact of apocalyptic eschatology. Based on a
careful analysis of the text, David Arthur argues that the
motivating circumstance for Revelation was provided not by external
Roman oppression but by a fierce internal dispute between gnostic
and proto-orthodox factions within the early church. In the ensuing
controversy, John did not side with ecclesiastical officials, as
might be expected, but instead took up the cause of the persecuted
outcasts. Following the precedent of the classical prophets, he
speaks as a champion for the downtrodden and
dispossessed--represented, for him, by the gnostic heretics. The
book he has left us presents a fiery symbolic rebuke of
proto-orthodox Christianity, and by extension, challenges normative
religious paradigms at every level of belief and praxis.

Through a daringly revisionist reading of the Revelation to John,
The Walls of Babylon overthrows conventional assumptions, liberal
and conservative alike, regarding Gnosticism and apocalyptic
eschatology, and dismantles and reconstructs a received narrative
of early Christian history. Scholars have long assumed that
Revelation arose in response to a perceived crisis prompted by
conflict between the emerging church and the Roman Empire, or more
broadly, between the competing claims of religious allegiance and
political authority. David Arthur’s careful analysis of the text
shows, however, that the motivating circumstance was provided not
by external oppression but by a fierce internal dispute between
gnostic and proto-orthodox groups. In the ensuing controversy, John
took up the cause of the persecuted outcasts. Following the
precedent of the classical prophets, he speaks not on behalf of the
dominant ecclesiastical hierarchy, but as a spokesperson for the
downtrodden, defamed, and dispossessed. The message he has left us
offers a fiery symbolic rebuke of proto-orthodox
Christianity––and by extension, challenges and controverts
normative religious paradigms at every level of belief and praxis.
