Revelation and the Marble Economy of Roman Ephesus: A People's History Approach - Hardcover

by Anna M. V. Bowden (Author)

In an effort to demonstrate the (im)practicalities of John's command for withdrawal (18:4), this book reconstructs the marble economy of Roman Ephesus and reads Revelation through the daily lives of its workers. It concludes that John's call for zero cultural participation is utterly devastating for its workers.
