{"product_id":"the-end-of-the-world-eric-knibbs-9783030149642","title":"The End of the World in Medieval Thought and Spirituality","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis essay collection studies the Apocalypse and the end of the world, as these themes occupied the minds of biblical scholars, theologians, and ordinary people in Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and Early Modernity. It opens with an innovative series of studies on \"Gendering the Apocalypse,\" devoted to the texts and contexts of the apocalyptic through the lens of gender. A second section of essays studies the more traditional problem of \"Apocalyptic Theory and Exegesis,\" with a focus on authors such as Augustine of Hippo and Joachim of Fiore. A final series of essays extends the thematic scope to \"The Eschaton in Political, Liturgical, and Literary Contexts.\" In these essays, scholars of history, theology, and literature create a dialogue that considers how fear of the end of the world, among the most pervasive emotions in human experience, underlies a great part of Western cultural production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Knibbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030149641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030149642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.88d","brand":"Eric Knibbs","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125931143423,"sku":"9783030149642","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6d2c9f1-ff35-498b-b68a-e12a3067365b.jpg?v=1687445372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-end-of-the-world-eric-knibbs-9783030149642","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
