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","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45280448413847,"sku":"9789048156658","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789048156658.webp?v=1769296348","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/millenarianism-and-messianism-in-early-modern-european-culture-volume-ii-catholic-millenarianism-from-savonarola-to-the-abbe-gregoire-9789048156658","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
