About the Book

Apocalyptic scenarios remain prevalent and powerful in popular culture (television, film, comic books, and popular fiction), in politics (debates on climate change, environmentalism, Middle East policy, and military planning), and in various religious traditions. Academic interest in apocalypticism is flourishing; indeed, the study of both ancient and contemporary apocalyptic phenomena has long been a focus of attention in scholarly research and a ready way to engage the religious studies classroom. Apocalypses in Context is designed for just such a classroom, bringing together the insights of scholars in various fields and using different methods to discuss the manifestations of apocalyptic enthusiasm in different ages. This approach enables the instructor to make connections and students to recognize continuities and contrasts across history. Apocalypses in Context features illustrations, study questions, and suggestions for further reading after each chapter, as well as recommended media and artwork to support the college classroom. The second edition includes five new chapters on topics relevant to the modern student. Within the original chapters, there are now major revisions based on feedback related to classroom needs.
