Product details

"Sacco di Roma", Tambora, 9/11, Tsunami - world history is full of events that have repeatedly sparked discussions about an impending apocalypse. However, apocalyptic fears are a particular phenomenon of Western, Christian culture. This book presents, for the first time, a comprehensive intellectual history of the apocalypse. From the biblical prophets to today's newspapers, Christian culture has been shaped by the belief in an inexorable end. Johannes Fried traces his narrative from pre-Christian antiquity through the Age of Enlightenment to the recent present. Both intellectual history and popular culture, as well as science, offer an inexhaustible variety of fascinating examples. It turns out that apocalyptic visions do not dissipate with advancing scientific knowledge - rather, they persist.
