520			_aThis book is a fine piece of scholarship of contextual biblical interpretation. The book has placed Revelation at the centre of a contextual rereading from the perspective of the exploited, discriminated and oppressed in a context of socio-political, economic and religious oppression. The author has chosen Dalit communities and their socio-economic and cultural situations as the favoured readers today who enter into a dialogue with God's Word addressed originally to minority communities, Christian and Gentile, who suffered from violence, were discriminated against and were marginalized. The book introduces readers to an integrated methodology of study in which exegetical, literary, rhetorical and reader perspectives enable an authentic contextual interpretation of Power, Violence and Suffering in Revelation. With emphasis on the prophetic confrontation and denunciation by "John" the author opens up vistas for empowerment, hope and life for the small and forgotten people of modern India
