Abstract

presents the debates over such thorny matters as the silence (for some deafening) surrounding the coincidence of the coronation of Charlemagne with the prophesied AM Y6K (the biblical Annus Mundi 6000 according to Eusebian calculations), and the significance of AD Y1K or the alleged terrors of the year 1000. A generous narrator throughout, Palmer deftly transcends these seemingly insoluble disagreements by offering a third way in the form of a systematic view of how apocalyptic thinking was woven into the fabric of society at all levels as a force for reform and improvement. As a motivational tool for change in the face of inevitable Judgment, apocalyptic discourse functioned differently in different contexts, yet it yielded similar results. The inevitability of Judgment (whether seemingly imminent or not) inspired a desire to improve, not just when times were bad.

《兰斯的辛马:生活与工作》雷切尔·斯通、查尔斯·韦斯特主编(书评)
本书呈现了对一些棘手问题的争论,如查理曼加冕与预言的公元6k年(根据优西比安的计算,圣经中的世界年是公元6000年)巧合的沉默(有些人震耳欲聋),以及公元1k年的意义或所谓的1000年的恐怖事件。自始至终,帕尔默都是一个慷慨的叙述者,他巧妙地超越了这些看似无法解决的分歧,以一种系统的观点提出了第三种方式,即末世论思想是如何作为改革和改进的力量融入社会各个层面的。面对不可避免的审判,作为一种激励变革的工具,启示录话语在不同的语境中发挥着不同的作用,但却产生了相似的结果。不可避免的审判(无论是否迫在眉睫)激发了人们改善的欲望,而不仅仅是在糟糕的时候。
