This is the first of a 3-part series on An Apocalptic Christmas, where we look at the Christmas story through the lens of the book of Revelation. We will be exploring themes of empire, power, militarism, violence, economics, and consumerisam. This first episode is with Dr. Cynthia Wetsfall, who is Associate Professor of New Testament at McMaster Divinity College. Dr. Westfall has a broad range of research interests including Hebrews, Revelation, biblical social justice and Paul's theology on men and women.
