Religion, Packed into all the major monotheistic religions that burst out of the Middle East is an immensely powerful theological punch: apocalypse. While these visions have expressed themselves in different ways in each of the four monotheistic traditions of Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Islam, the phenomenon itself is intrinsically similar. How has Millennialism expressed itself in a historical context? In what ways can patterns or phenomena that link the four faiths be discerned? Why has Millennialism so powerfully excited the human imagination within this monotheistic context? In seeking to answer these questions, this book fascinatingly demonstrates that the shared apocalyptic legacy among all four traditions has helped to shape not just the doctrines of these religious communities but also major currents in human history from the rise of new religions to political revolution. eBook.
