Reclaiming the Truth

Fiornza's book is another great along with the many others she has wrote. She brings the reality of the Book of Revelation to life. I used her book, along with others, in a religion class. Her book by far was fascinating and truthful. I will warn this book is not for people who do not have an open mind. It is hard reading and takes time, but it is a breakthrough for feminist apocraphyl theology. This book is also not for those who think the Book of Revelation is going to happen tomorrow. I recommend this book for anyone interested in the academic feminist study of the Book of Revleation. It will definitely open up yor eyes!
