This groundbreaking study reveals the distinctive impact of
apocalyptic ideas about time, evil and power on church and society
in the Latin West, c.400-c.1050. Drawing on evidence from late
antiquity, the Frankish kingdoms, Anglo-Saxon England, Spain and
Byzantium and sociological models, James Palmer shows that
apocalyptic thought was a more powerful part of mainstream
political ideologies and religious reform than many historians
believe. Moving beyond the standard 'Terrors of the Year 1000', The
Apocalypse in the Early Middle Ages opens up broader perspectives
on heresy, the Antichrist and Last World Emperor legends,
chronography, and the relationship between eschatology and
apocalypticism. In the process, it offers reassessments of the
worlds of Augustine, Gregory of Tours, Bede, Charlemagne and the
Ottonians, providing a wide-ranging and up-to-date survey of
medieval apocalyptic thought. This is the first full-length
English-language treatment of a fundamental and controversial part
of medieval religion and society.
