Neither physical nor spirit beings but "shekhins"- such is the discovery of this book concerning the characters in Revelation. But what are shekhins if these are not beings? How did this book arrive at this viewpoint? To explain these, this book undergoes some excruciating feat from which books on Revelation largely shy away. But this is not the only endeavor that this book braves. Throughout its radical scrutiny of Revelation, it also clenches the view that all faiths and Eastern philosophies are in the vision of John - a view that again defies most, if not all, mainstream perspectives on Revelation. Upholding this, the book eventually learns the cogency of such a view after thoughtfully dissecting passages in Revelation. Passages in Revelation do not appear as they seem. Bracing its arguments with wide-ranging research on philosophy, religion, and theology, this book consequentially delivers rich, original, and highly intriguing insights, such as on: - the problem of evil - miracle and God's omnipotence - the non-selectiveness of God - the seven angels of Rev. 2-3 - the "wrath" of God - natural theology - spiritual forces - and many more This book also finds itself having unearthed the gem buried deep within the vision: perfection in love.

"This book continues the conversations begun in Emilie Townes's path-breaking A Troubling in My Soul: Womanist Perspectives on Evil and Suffering. Once again, Townes brings together essays by leading womanist theologians, interweaving a concern for matters of race, gender, and class, as these bear on the survival and well-being of the African-American community. In Embracing the Spirit the emphasis is not on evil and suffering, but on "hope, salvation, and transformation" for individuals and their communities."--Jacket
