Winner of the American Sociological Association's 'Distinguished Book Award' in the Religion category. For most of us, Apocalypse suggests the cataclysmic end of the world. Yet in Greek apocalypse means revelation, and the real subject of the Book of Revelation is how the sacred arises in history at a moment of crisis and destiny. With origins in ancient religions, the apocalyptic has been a transformative force from the time of the Crusades, through the Reformation, the French Revolution and modern communism, all the way to the present day Islamic Jihad and War on Terror. In Apocalypse, John R. Hall explores the significance of apocalyptic movements and the role they have played in the rise of the West and The Empire of Modernity. This brilliant cross-disciplinary study offers a novel basis for rethinking our social order and its ambivalent relations to sacred history. Apocalypse will attract general readers seeking new understandings of the world in challenging times. Scholars and students will find a compelling synthesis that draws them into conversation with others interested in religion, theology, culture, philosophy, and phenomenology, as well as sociology, social theory, western civilization, and world history.
