Eugene Clay. 520 8 $a In the twenty-first century, insurance companies still refer to "acts of God" for any accident or event not influenced by human beings: hurricanes, floods, hail, tsunamis, wildfires, earthquakes, tornados, lightning strikes, even falling trees. The remote origin of this concept can be traced to the Hebrew Bible. During the Second Temple period of Judaism a new literary form developed called "apocalyptic" as a mediated revelation of heavenly secrets to a human sage concerning messages that could be cosmological, speculative, historical, teleological, or moral. The best-known development of this type of literature, however, came to fruition in the New Testament and is, of course, the Book of Revelation, attributed to the apostle John, and which figures prominently in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. This collection of essays, the result of the 2014 ACMRS Conference, treats the topic of catastrophes and their connection to apocalyptic mentalities and rhetoric in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance (with particular reference to reception of the Book of Revelation), both in Europe and in the Muslim world. The twelve authors contributing to this volume use terms that are simultaneously helpful and ambiguous for a whole range of phenomena and appraisal. -- $c Provided by publisher, page 4 of cover. 630 00 $a Bible. $p Revelation $x Criticism, interpretation, etc. 650 0 $a Disasters $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Church history $y Middle Ages, 600-1500. 650 0 $a Church history $y 16th century. 700 1 $a Bjork, Robert E., $d 1949- $e writer of introduction. $e writer of introduction. 710 2 $a Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. $b Conference $d (2014) 776 08 $i E-book version $z 9782503582986 830 0 $a Arizona studies in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance ; $v v. 43. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021133.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2351C5C083E11EABF3FA51A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
