At the turn of the millennium, should we celebrate or prepare for the end of the world? In this timely new reference work, readers will find detailed discussions of the four different types of apocalyptic literature covering a span of 21 centuries, from the prophesies of the Greco-Roman era to novels of the present day. Thoughtful, readable entries examine major works--their characters, symbols, themes, and historical context--as well as the authors themselves.
Readers of this beautifully illustrated volume can also look beyond the details of specific works to discover the common themes in the apocalyptic literature of many cultures--such as a final battle between good and evil; supernatural intervention, both divine and demonic; and the ultimate judgment of humanity after death. A comprehensive introduction defines four categories of apocalyptic literature worldwide, traces the development of each, and discusses general themes, trends, and terminology. An index to myths, legends, and scriptures explores apocalyptic themes in preliterate and non-Western cultures.
