ISBN10: 0826415202, ISBN13: 9780826415202, [publisher: New York : : Continuum] Hardcover Gebraucht - Gut \* Dustjacket with minimum wear, excellent, clean condition, no markings in text \* -'Apocalypticism has been the source of hope and courage for the oppressed, but has also given rise, on many occasions, to fanaticism and intolerance. The essays in this volume seek neither to apologize for the extravagance of apocalyptic thinkers nor to excuse the perverse actions of some of their followers. Rather, they strive to understand a powerful, perhaps even indispensable, element in the history of Western religions that has been the source of both good and evil, and still is yet today.'The Editors
