With its companion volumes,  \u003cem\u003eCatholic Millenarianism\u003c\/em\u003e illustrates a hold apocalyptic concerns  had on intellectual life, particularly between 1500 and 1900, rivaling  and influencing rationalism and skepticism. \u003cbr\u003e  Catholics do not ordinarily expect a messianic reign by earthly means.  \u003cem\u003eCatholic Millenarianism\u003c\/em\u003e shows instead what is common to Catholic  authors: their preoccupation with the relationship between linguistic  prophecies and the events they foretell. This makes the perspectives  offered as surprisingly diverse as their particular times, and the  book itself interesting and worth repeated reading.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792368496\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-2280-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234.0cm x156.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 118.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378882044044,"sku":"9780792368496","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792368496.jpg?v=1765470584","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792368496","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
