Rev and imagery: Interview with Nelson Kraybill

The determinetruth's Podcast

On today's episode, Rob and Vinnie interview Nelso Kraybill, the author of Apocalypse and Allegiance: Worship, Politics, and Devotion in the book of Revelation. We discuss the book of Revelation and John's use of images and what it means for the church today.

Nelson Kraybill is an ordained minister who served as President of Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Indiana (1997–2009) and President of Mennonite World Conference (2015–22). He was scholar-in-residence at Bethlehem Bible College in Palestine (2022–23) where his work included recording ten short films on peace themes related to biblical sites. Nelson received an M.Div degree from Princeton Theological Seminary and a Ph.D in Biblical Studies from Union Presbyterian Seminary. He was co-founder of Bridge Builders Mediation Service in Britain, and his publications range from the feature articles in Christianity Today (1999) to his book Apocalypse and Allegiance: Worship, Politics, and Devotion in the Book of Revelation (Brazos Press, 2010). He has recently published a new book Stuck Together: The Hope of Christian Witness in a Polarized World (Herald Press, 2023).

His blog www.peace-pilgrim.com features popular-level articles on biblical sites, and he has led study tours to Bible lands since 2008.
