Mankind’s fascination with the Apocalypse is not new. Starting from the Hindu notions of Kali Yuga to 2012 Phenomenon, Apocalypse has been a part of our lives in the form of a cultural formation, natural threat, fictional entity, ideological construct, political fear or catastrophic end. Apocalyptic discourses underline how one culture perceives and reflects pain, trauma, loss and fear as well as indicating the ability to face and get ready for disaster. This inter-disciplinary and academic study aims to discuss the end of the world in multiple contexts where the popularity of apocalypse always reigns. In the scope of this work, readers will see the multi-dimensional nature of the Apocalypse referring more to progress rather than end or beginning, an in-between situation, a becoming, a formation; local yet global phenomenon; a product of fantasy plus a constructed reality; both an object of consumption and life consuming mechanism, an ideological presence in the absence of larger meta-narratives.

Apocalyptic Projections have been pondered since Biblical times. Theories abounded in an attempt to prepare for calamity and plan for the future.

Die Apokalypse des Paulus gehört zu den erfolgreichsten Literaturwerken aller Zeiten. Im 2. Jahrhundert geschaffen, wurde sie noch bis ins 20. Jahrhundert handschriftlich weiterverbreitet; über 300 Textzeugen sind zwischen Irland und Armenien, Skandinavien und Äthiopien erhalten geblieben, davon fast ein Drittel allein im Raum der Slavia Orthodoxa. Obwohl die wissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit dem slavischen Text schon 1858 in Russland ihren Anfang genommen hat, ist die Einordnung der slavischen Tradition in die Gesamtüberlieferung dieses wichtigen Apokryphons, das das Bild der christlichen Welt von Himmel und Hölle entscheidend geprägt hat, bis heute ein Desiderat der Forschung.Die vorliegende Arbeit versucht, hier neue Anstöße zu geben, und wendet sich dabei nicht nur an Slavisten, sondern auch an Theologen, Vertreter der Wissenschaft vom Christlichen Orient, Byzantinisten und Rumänisten, denen der Zugang durch die Beifügung der Rekonstruktion der ältesten slavischen Version sowie deren Übersetzung ins Deutsche erleichtert wird.

The Apocalypse of Abraham is a pseudepigraphal work that narrates Abraham's rejection of idol worship and his subsequent ascent to heaven, where he is shown eschatological secrets through angelic mediation. This fascinating text was only preserved in Old Church Slavonic and must be studied as both a medieval Christian and an ancient Jewish text. This monograph addresses the following questions: -Why were medieval Slavs translating and reading Jewish pseudepigrapha? -How much, if at all, did they emend or edit the Apocalypse of Abraham ? -When in antiquity was it most likely written? -What were its ancient Jewish social and theological contexts?.
