This text examines the origin of Jewish apocalyptic literature, the
literature of groups who were convinced that the End was near. The
author points out that many stories in Jewish apocalyptic
literature evolved from conversations around the campfire, the
hearth, or anywhere people would customarily gather to relax and
talk. He further explains the importance of such folklore and
humour: the physical relaxation and psychological release from
laughing, served as a catharsis from physical labours and political
oppression.
