 mes New Roman'\,'serif'\;}\n\n\nThe woman Babylon in the Book of Revelatio
 n has had more than her share of \nviolence\, both in the Christian Bible\
 , as well as in the scholarly writings \nabout her text. Having the name\,
  “Babylon\,” she is automatically \nnegatively perceived before one gets a
  chance to know her. Yet the woman \nBabylon is so much more than her name
 . She is so much more than a \nfemale-gendered metaphor for a city - repre
 senting the Roman Empire - that \nwill be overturned by God’s Empire. She 
 just may be more akin to us than we \nwould ever dare to imagine.\n\nBy co
 nsidering issues of empire and the experiences of African American \npeopl
 e\, the Rev. Dr. Shanell T. Smith will highlight the woman Babylon’s \nsim
 ultaneous identification as a “brothel slavewoman” and as an \n“empress/im
 perial city.” This two-sided characterization of the woman \nBabylon incit
 es tension within Dr. Smith because she reflects ever so sharply \nher own
  continual conflicting reality of being simultaneously a victim of\, \nand
  participant in\, empire. In today’s troubling times\, Dr. Smith hopes \nt
 hat these conflicting realities will lead not to paralysis or neutrality\,
  \nbut to action.\n\nDr. Smith's book\, /The Woman Babylon and the Marks o
 f Empire: Reading \nRevelation with a Postcolonial Womanist Hermeneutics o
 f Ambivalence [1]\, /was \npublished by Fortress Press in 2014.\n\nThis ev
 ent is part of Black Heritage Month.\n\n \n\n\n[1] http://store.fortresspr
