| Description: | HIS-200-02=REL-290-01 How will the world end? When will the world end? Will the world end at all? On Saturday March 25, 2023, Donald Trump held a rally in Waco, Texas. Why there? Last January, the Doomsday Clock moved closer to midnight for the first time in two years. Wars in Israel and Palestine have renewed fundamentalists' focus on the return of Jesus. What does this all mean? This course will study the history of how these questions have been posed and answered from Jewish and Christian communities in the ancient Mediterranean world to Christians in medieval Europe to contemporary America. Using the lenses of social and cultural history, we will examine how these apocalyptic ideologies have been shaped by historical events and how subgroups have interacted with, and often changed, society. |
