| Summary |
Explores the ways that the Christian prophecy of apocalypse--the fiery end of the world on Earth--has shaped Western thought and history. Through innovative readings of the Bible, theology and philosophy, feminist and poststructuralist theory, fiction and poetry, Western history and current politics, Keller shows how the myth of the apocalypse has shaped our basic habits of text, time, place, community, and gender. |
