As the news of this victory spread throughout Medieval Europe, it felt nothing less than miraculous and dream-like, to such an extent that many believed history itself had been fundamentally altered by the event and that the Rapture was at hand. As a result of military conquest, Christians could see themselves as agents of rather than mere actors in their own salvation. The capture of Jerusalem changed everything. In Nebuchadnezzar's Dream, Jay Rubenstein maps out the steps by which the social, political, economic, and intellectual shifts occurred throughout the 12th century, drawing on those who guided and explained them. The Crusades raised the possibility of imagining the Apocalypse as more than prophecy but actual event. Rubenstein examines how those who confronted the conflict between prophecy and reality transformed the meaning and memory of the Crusades as well as their place in history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Nebuchadnezzar's dream, 600 B.C.E -- Nebuchadnezzar's dream, 1106 C.E -- Building blocks for the apocalypse -- The oncoming madness of antichrist -- Sacred geography -- Crusaders behaving badly -- Troubling news from the east -- The Second Crusade's miraculous failure -- Translatio imperii : leaving Jerusalem -- Apocalypse begins at home -- Jerusalem lost -- The crusade of Joachim of Fiore. 650 0 $a Crusades $y First, 1096-1099. 650 0 $a Crusades $y Second, 1147-1149. 651 0 $a Jerusalem $x History $y Latin Kingdom, 1099-1244. 650 0 $a End of the world $x History of doctrines $y Middle Ages, 600-1500. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220202015342.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=129A8E302E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
