{"product_id":"poetry-and-apocalypse-william-franke-9780804759106","title":"Poetry and Apocalypse: Theological Disclosures of Poetic Language","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePoetry and Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e, Franke seeks to find the premises for dialogue between cultures, especially religious fundamentalisms--including Islamic fundamentalism--and modern Western secularism. He argues that in order to be genuinely open, dialogue needs to accept possibilities such as religious apocalypse in ways that can be best understood through the experience of poetry. Franke reads Christian epic and prophetic tradition as a secularization of religious revelation that preserves an understanding of the essentially apocalyptic character of truth and its disclosure in history. The usually neglected negative theology that undergirds this apocalyptic tradition provides the key to a radically new view of apocalypse as at once religious and poetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Franke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804759103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804759106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/12\/2008 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2009 pg. 27","brand":"William Franke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059762622719,"sku":"9780804759106","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b93ac11-de13-46c2-8d4f-a752b436b5d0.jpg?v=1685060184","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poetry-and-apocalypse-william-franke-9780804759106","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
