And, most difficult, to write with a consciousness of Barthes's insight is to strive to locate oneself in a cultural position that is not necessarily a centre and to take responsibility for that act of location; it is, in this instance, also to see my writing as committed to an academic and pluralistic context that does not draw lines confessionally.

Discussing the large, well-integrated Jewish community of Sardis, Thompson writes: "the first Christians at Sardis were probably drawn from the Jewish community there" (1990a: 124). Similarly, he writes of, "city-dwellers in Asia who were neither Christian nor Jewish" (1990a: 130). At many other points in their work, Yarbro Collins and Thompson write with the understanding that the writer and initial audience of the Apocalypse of John are distinct from Judaism. Yarbro Collins writes: "Jewish hostility to the early Christian mission effort is well attested for both the first and the second century" (1984a; 85); "Not only are Jews vilified, but other Christian leaders and the Roman empire are attacked with strong language as well" (1986: 308); "Insofar as Christian messianism appeared to be a new and separate phenomenon, it had no status" (1986: 314); "To the extent that Christian converts were former Jews .
The interpretive category "Christianity," anchored as a topos noetos, reified as a proper name, divinized in its scope and power, is certainly available to twentieth-century readers of the Apocalypse, but it is by no means necessary or neutral.
