THE NEW MIDDLE AGES THE END OF THE WORLD IN M...

This essay collection studies the Apocalypse and the end of the world  as these themes occupied
the minds of biblical scholars  theologians  and ordinary people in Antiquity  the Middle Ages
and Early Modernity. It opens with an innovative series of studies on ¿Gendering the Apocalypse
¿ devoted to the texts and contexts of the apocalyptic through the lens of gender. A second
section of essays studies the more traditional problem of ¿Apocalyptic Theory and Exegesis ¿
with a focus on authors such as Augustine of Hippo and Joachim of Fiore. A final series of
essays extends the thematic scope to ¿The Eschaton in Political  Liturgical  and Literary
Contexts.¿ In these essays  scholars of history  theology  and literature create a dialogue
that considers how fear of the end of the world  among the most pervasive emotions in human
experience  underlies a great part of Western cultural production.
