Abstract

Brett Whalen explores the compelling belief that Christendom would spread to every corner of the earth before the end of time. During the High Middle Ages - an era of crusade, mission, and European expansion - ;the Western followers of Rome imagined the future conversion of Jews, Muslims, pagans, and Eastern Christians into one fold of God's people, assembled under the authority of the Roman Church.

Abstract

Neither the meliorist political culture of the nascent American republic nor its later drift toward apocalyptically tinged 'fundamentalist' Protestantism and dispensationalism can be explained outside the context of the shared Anglo-American traditions and practices of millennial expectation and apocalyptic angst--whether expressed by early colonists, Milton, Blake, Miller or the Continental Congress. In this chronologically direct and thematically varied volume, five scholars working in three distinct disciplines (Religion, English literature, and History) approach millennialism and apocalypticism in the British and Anglo-American contexts, making remarkable contributions both to the study of religious, literary and political culture in the English-speaking ecumene, and, at least implicitly, to the critique of disciplinary exclusivity. Only in such mixed company does the study of the millennial nexus in English and American religion, culture, literature and politics, from the time of Milton to the time of the Millerites, come into focus. Contributors include: Richard Connors, Andrew Escobedo, Andrew C. Gow, J.I. Little, Stephen A. Marini, Beth Quitslund, and John Howard Smith.

Abstract

Depuis plus d’un demi-siècle, les historiens et les sociologues se sont beaucoup intéressés aux courants de pensée et aux mouvements qui, au cours des siècles, ont lié l’aspiration à un ordre social plus juste ou à une réforme religieuse à l’avènement d’une ère nouvelle, placée sous le signe de la perfection et de la paix, qui durerait jusqu’à la fin des temps. On a longtemps considéré ces phénomènes comme des formes de fanatisme ou comme une expression “pré-politique” de la lutte des classes. Sans négliger ces facteurs, le présent volume vise à fournir une interprétation équilibrée et à jour de ces formes radicales d’attente et d’espoir d’un changement, qui n’ont rien perdu de leur actualité.
