Synopsis

Feminist theologian Catherine Keller offers an interpretation of the effects of the Christian prophecy of the Apocalypse on Western history and thought. Embracing a broad range of learned disciplines, Keller traces the effects of apocalyptic thinking on movements, such as colonialism, urbanization and the current environmental crisis. Throughout, she constructs a counter-apocalypse that neither abdicates the prophetic passion for justice nor surrenders to the doom-directed paradigm of the apocalyptic habit.
