Weekly on Sundays, August 3, 10, 17, 31

Join in person or on Zoom

We will dive into Revelation using Brian K. Blount’s book, Can I Get A Witness: Reading Revelation Through African American Culture as an interpretive guide.

“In the provocative study, Brian Blount reads the book of Revelation through the lens of African American culture, drawing correspondences between Revelation’s context and the long-suffering of African Americans. Applying the African American social, political, and religious experience as an interpretive cipher for the book’s complicated imagery, he contends that Revelation is essentially a story of suffering amidst oppressive assimilation and that witnessing was the ethic by which John wished people to live.

Each session will be 90 minutes.

We will meet in person in Oakland, CA and on zoom. You will receive the Zoom link shortly before the first session.
