Divining History

Prophetism, Messianism and the Development of the Spirit

Beschreibung

Messianic ideas of impending redemption have inspired and engendered struggles for justice, yet also violent utopian ideologies. This book analyzes the double-edged legacy of Judeo-Christian theologies of history by exploring their impact on subsequent philosophies of history and political ideologies.
