This concerns scholarship and society alike, and is by no means limited to the religious field. The present volume collates essays from specialists in the study of apocalyptic and eschatological subjects. With its interdisciplinary approach, it is designed to overcome the existing Euro-centrism and incorporate a broader perspective to the topic of end time expectations in the Christian Middle Ages as well as in East Asia and Africa"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aPrognostication in History 606 $aApocalyptic literature$vComparative studies 615 0$aApocalyptic literature 676 $a228.066 676 $a200 702 $aLehner$b Hans-Christian 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828746403321 996 $aThe end(s) of time(s)$94098153 997 $aUNINA
