Etudes sur la manière dont les religions et les hommes conçoivent la fin du monde, à partir des travaux d'historiens, linguistes ou politologues qui décryptent les dogmes et les figures associées aux attentes eschatologiques des religions connues et moins connues : culte de la Vierge, salafisme contemporain, traditions sunnites, zoroastrisme, manichéisme, samaritanisme, etc.

Des fragments mayas aux centuries de Nostradamus, de l'an mil à l'an deux mille, des prophéties de l'Antiquité aux prédictions du New Age, la fin du monde hante les consciences, habite la littérature et prétend hâter l'histoire. Mais ce sont le judaïsme et le christianisme qui donnent tout son sens à l'apocalyptique dont David Hamidovic se fait ici, pour nous, le guide. Bestiaires, être célestes, créatures surnaturelles, mais aussi enfers, paradis : les univers que dessinent le Livre de Daniel, le Livre d'Hénoch, l'Apocalypse de Jean de Patmos, sont à interpréter. En une démonstration savante où la pédagogie le dispute à la virtuosité, ce livre montre combien les visions et les révélations sur la fin des temps dépendent de leur temps. Renouvelant ce champ devenu essentiel aux études bibliques, David Hamidovic explore les mutations de la représentation divine, la remise en cause de la sagesse traditionnelle, la production singulière de l'eschatologie et les milieux spécifiques qui l'engendrent au sein d'une époque en dérèglement. En dévoilant comment l'exaltation de l'omnipotence constitue un antidote aux temps de crise, cette étude met en lumière la part de Dieu et celle des hommes en une leçon qui vaut pour hier et plus encore pour aujourd'hui.

Apocalypticism arose in ancient Judaism in the last centuries BCE and played a crucial role in the rise of Christianity. It is not only of historical interest: there has been a growing awareness, especially since the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, of the prevalence of apocalyptic beliefs in the contemporary world. To understand these beliefs, it is necessary to appreciate their complex roots in the ancient world, and the multi-faceted character of the phenomenon of apocalypticism.The Oxford Handbook of Apocalyptic Literature is a thematic and phenomenological exploration of apocalypticism in the Judaic and Christian traditions. Most of the volume is devoted to the apocalyptic literature of antiquity. Essays explore the relationship between apocalypticism and prophecy, wisdom and mysticism; the social function of apocalypticism and its role as resistance literature; apocalyptic rhetoric from both historical and postmodern perspectives; and apocalyptic theology, focusing on phenomena of determinism and dualism and exploring apocalyptic theology's role in ancient Judaism, early Christianity, and Gnosticism.The final chapters of the volume are devoted to the appropriation of apocalypticism in the modern world, reviewing the role of apocalypticism in contemporary Judaism and Christianity, and more broadly in popular culture, addressing the increasingly studied relation between apocalypticism and violence, and discussing the relationship between apocalypticism and trauma, which speaks to the underlying causes of the popularity of apocalyptic beliefs. This volume will further the understanding of a vital religious phenomenon too often dismissed as alien and irrational by secular western society.

This groundbreaking study reveals the distinctive impact of apocalyptic ideas about time, evil and power on church and society in the Latin West, c.400-c.1050. Drawing on evidence from late antiquity, the Frankish kingdoms, Anglo-Saxon England, Spain and Byzantium and sociological models, James Palmer shows that apocalyptic thought was a more powerful part of mainstream political ideologies and religious reform than many historians believe. Moving beyond the standard 'Terrors of the Year 1000', The Apocalypse in the Early Middle Ages opens up broader perspectives on heresy, the Antichrist and Last World Emperor legends, chronography, and the relationship between eschatology and apocalypticism. In the process, it offers reassessments of the worlds of Augustine, Gregory of Tours, Bede, Charlemagne and the Ottonians, providing a wide-ranging and up-to-date survey of medieval apocalyptic thought. This is the first full-length English-language treatment of a fundamental and controversial part of medieval religion and society.
