Biografisk notat
Wolfram Brandes, MPIER, Frankfurt/M.; Felicitas Schmieder, FernUniversität Hagen; Rebekka Voß, Goethe Universität Frankfurt/M.This volume addresses Jewish, Christian and Muslim future visions on the end of the world, focusing on the respective allies and antagonists for each religious society. Extensive lists of murderous end-time peoples, whether for good or evil, and those who merit salvation hold variably defined roles in end-time scenarios. Spanning late Antiquity to the early modern period, the collected papers examine distinctive aspects represented by each religion’s approach as well as shared concepts.
Millennium transcends boundaries – between epochs and regions, and between disciplines. Like the journal Millennium-Jahrbuch, the Millennium-Studien pursues an international, interdisciplinary approach that cuts across historical eras. The editorial and the advisory board represent a broad spectrum of disciplines.
"[...] nicht wenige Aufsätze dieses Sammelbandes [sind] inhaltlich vortrefflich und bringen die Forschung zu den Endzeitvölkern mit neuen Quellen, Erkenntnissen und methodologischen Überlegungen wesentlich voran."
