Frederic J. Baumgartner Longing for the End: A History of Millenialism in Western Civilization
Palgrave Macmillan 0333801423 / 9780333801420 Hardcover Near fine Near fine Hardcover
New. Near fine in publisher's slightly bumped cloth in like rubbed dust jacket. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Jonestown, Waco and Heaven's Gate resonate deeply in contemporary America, while Munster, Masada or Mount Tabor were no less potent for their eras as long as 1900 years ago. All were movements that believed the endtime was close and their members had to act through violence or suicide to ensure that it happened. "Longing for the End" explores the long, often violent, history of millennialism as it has affected Western civilization. From the ancient Zoroastrians to the Concerned Christians of 1998, a belief in the imminent end of the present world and coming of the new age has motivated hundreds of sects and cults, some of which burned out in an orgy of violence, while others endured, as did Christianity itself, to become a permanent part of Western society. Millennialism has also been part of the motivation behind the Crusades, Columbus's voyages, Marxism and the Third Reich. In this work, Baumgartner shows why the year 2000 has so powerful a place in the Western imagination. .... About the Author FREDERIC J. BAUMGARTNER is Professor of History at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. He is the author of From Spear to Flintlock: A History of War in Europe to the French Revolution, Louis XII , and France in the Sixteenth Century.

Robert J. Sherman The Shift to Modernity: Christ and the Doctrine of Creation in the Theologies of Schleiermacher and Barth
T.& T.Clark Ltd 2005-06-30 0567028704 / 9780567028709 Hardcover Fine n/a Hardcover
New. Fine in publisher's cloth as issued/no dust jacket. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.The goal of this book is to add one more voice to the growing chorus of opinion that the theologies of Friedrich Schleiermacher and Karl Barth may have far more in common than the many insistent assertions of the latter, or the partisans of either, would lead one to believe. While there can be no easy reconciliation of the differences which do in fact exist between these two figures, the book will argue that these differences do not always stem from irreconcilable starting points. This book will investigate one aspect of their theologies-the doctrine of Creation. The thesis of the book asserts that both Barth and Schleiermacher take a Christological orientation to the doctrine of Creation. Approaching their theologies in this fashion allows them to solve the problem of maintaining dogmatic coherence and continuity with the Church's historic confessions while also meeting certain modern, external intellectual demands confronting those systems. To put it more sharply, this study claims that each uses Christ as the hermeneutical key for interpreting Creation, and that each does so in an effort to remain true to the faith handed down from the past while maintaining intellectual integrity in the present. This underlying connection perceptible in both Barth's and Schleiermacher's work forges one continuity between them and suggests that there may be certain fundamental similarities in their respective theologies in spite of other well-known differences.
