Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book provides a helpful, relevant, comprehensive survey of the apocalyptic literary genre. After an initial overview of things apocalyptic, the author proceeds to deal with individual apocalyptic texts--the early Enoch literature, the book of Daniel, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and others--concluding with an examination of apocalypticism in early Christianity. |
