Here's what some folks have said:

"Here at last is an introduction to the New Testament that neither condescends nor pulls any punches. It is unapologetically committed to the radical message of Jesus without sentimentality or simplemindedness. Besides all that, it's a good read."
—Walter Wink

If you are looking for a book that will lure you into the latest in biblical scholarship, introduce you to some of the finest writers on the Scriptures, and raise thorny questions about the demands of discipleship, you won't find a better book."
—Megan McKenna

"To share in how leading scholars view especially the social dimensions of discipleship, one can do no better than to read this basic, yet prophetic book."
—Anthony J. Tambasco

Here's what some folks have said:

"Readers of my book Jesus before Christianity have sometimes asked me to consider writing a sequel. I had been at something of a loss to imagine what shape a sequel might take, until I read Wes Howard-Brook's The Church before Christianity. Here it is. Here is the sequel readers have been waiting for."
—Albert Nolan

"Inspiring and encouraging reading for all those weary, contemporary Christians in search of renewed life and vitality as church. This book reminds us of the essential and original meaning and praxis of being church, not only before Christianity, but also as a challenge for the church in the twenty-first century. A shot in the arm!"
—Edwina Gateley

“This book is superb both in its historical study of the antecedents and contexts of the book of Revelation and in its analysis of our own contemporary preoccupation with apocalyptic.”
—Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary and author of over 50 books on the Bible.

“Your book is WONDERFUL! … I am most excited about this book and look forward to seeing it in print! It will get a lot of use, I’m sure, including in classrooms.”
—Rev. Barbara Rossing, professor, Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago and board member, Lutheran Peace Fellowship

“At last! A treatment of the Apocalypse which speaks to us personally, politically, spiritually!”
—Paul Anderson, visiting professor, Yale Divinity School

“Those who work to expose and end global corporate rule will be fascinated by the thesis put forward that the book of Revelation presents a prophetic call to Christians everywhere to refuse to succumb to the seductions of the global corporate empire that now holds the world captive to greed and materialism.”
—David Korten, author, When Corporations Rule the World and former Harvard MBA professor

“What Walter Wink has done for the Powers, Wes Howard-Brook and Anthony Gwyther have done for the Apocalypse! In their brilliant new book, Wes and Anthony take us on an amazing journey through bizarre religious cults and dazzling near death experiences, to explore ancient traditions and modern realities in the light of a vast array of the mysterious apocalyptic images in the Bible, which turn out to be archetypal symbols, that can unlock the secrets of the labyrinthan political economy in which we find ourselves, and open up a completely unexpected way for us to be able to break the control that global capital has imposed upon our lives.”
—Dave Andrews, Australian author
