Exploring the intersection of philosophy and theology, this work examines how events lead to the emergence of "truth" within the context of Christianity, drawing on Alain Badiou's concepts. It argues against postmodern skepticism by asserting that truths can be recognized through committed individuals who respond to significant events. The latter part applies Badiou's theories to the Book of Revelation, revealing its radical implications for a new world order and political identity stemming from the event of "the victory of the Lamb."

The book explores how modern crises—economic, ecological, and political—are central to understanding contemporary society, contrasting with previous Cold War dynamics. It features insights from biblical scholars and activists who argue for a biblical interpretation that reflects current global challenges. The initial essays provide a concise overview of today's critical issues, while subsequent contributions engage with biblical texts to address themes of crisis, offering a dialogue that connects scripture with pressing global concerns.
