While scholars have noted the influence of ancient astromythology in Revelation before, Chevalier shows how John's heavenly imagery is the key to a polemical dialogue between modes of storytelling in Western history: astrology and eschatology, and naturalism and logocentrism. The book also explains how the "genealogical" concerns of modern academia about the origins of natural and cultural history have supplanted the future-oriented  visions of sidereal divination and Christian prophecy.".
