In anticipation of popular apocalyptic expectations for 2012, this course will explore the origins and nature of apocalypticism. Beginning with modern apocalyptic thought in ancient Jewish writings (including the Books of Daniel and Ezekiel in the Hebrew Bible), we will explore the socio-historical context for ancient Jewish visionary ascent texts, early Christian apocalypses (including the Book of Revelation) and later interpretations and use of ancient "prophecy" concerning the end of the world. This course includes a close reading of ancient texts and an analysis of the 2012 apocalyptic imagination through popular literature and movies.
