Eschatology played a central role in both politics and society
throughout the early modern period. It inspired people to strive
for social and political change, including sometimes by violent
means, and prompted in return strong reactions against their
religious activism. From the fifteenth to the eighteenth century,
numerous apocalyptical and messianic movements came to the fore
across Eurasia and North Africa, raising questions about possible
interconnections. Why were eschatological movements so pervasive in
early modern times? This volume provides some answers to this
question by exploring the interconnected histories of confessions
and religions from Moscow to Cusco. It offers a broad picture of
Christian and, to a lesser extent, Jewish and Islamic
eschatological movements from the fifteenth to the eighteenth
century, thereby bridging important and long-standing gaps in the
historiography. Apocalypse Now will appeal to both researchers and
students of the history of early modern religion and politics in
the Christian, Jewish and Islamic worlds. By exploring connections
between numerous eschatological movements, it gives a fresh insight
into one of the most promising fields of European and global
history.
