FennAldershot, England ;Burlington, VT Ashgate Pub.c20061 online resource (166 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-7546-5450-8 Includes bibliographical references ([147]-152) and index.Introduction : contemporary Christian Mullahs and their apocalypticism -- The apocalyptic vision as bad seed -- Radical preachers and Mullahs -- Terror and the apocalyptic imagination -- Apocalyptic visions as reaction to disaster -- The apocalyptic attack on the self -- Apocalyptic visions as ideology -- The test of time -- The theater and the courtroom -- Free association.Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are engaged not in a 'clash of civilizations' but in a sectarian conflict among branches of a single civilization traditionally steeped in apocalyptic imagery and beliefs. Apocalypticism is a religious luxury that modern civilizations can no longer afford. Many would agree that the propagandists of the Christian Right have raised apocalyptic tensions to a dangerous level since 9/11, but in this book Fenn takes on the main line church leaders for their role in promoting an apocalyptic view of history.Apocalyptic literatureHistory and criticismEnd of the worldComparative studiesTerrorismReligious aspectsCivilization, Modern21st centuryApocalyptic literatureHistory and criticism.End of the worldTerrorismReligious aspects.Civilization, Modern202/.3Fenn Richard K912141MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777318303321Dreams of glory3729021UNINA
