 Apocalypticism
 0.5
A study of the origins, content, and literary forms of the
apocalyptic movement from the late biblical period through early
Judaism and Christianity. Basic concepts, such as the end of the
present evil age and the establishment of the new world order,
cosmic dualism, visions of the future, pseudonymity, angels and
demons, astral influence, together with the influence of
apocalyptic on other thought forms and its contemporary relevance
will be considered in the context of primary apocalyptic sources
(e.g. The Book of Daniel, The Revelation of John, The Book of
Enoch, The Apocalypse of Baruch, etc.).
