Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. An award-winning historians revisionary account of the early modern world, showing how apocalyptic ideas stimulated political, religious, and intellectual transformations A masterful synthesis of the prognostications of faith, knowledge, and politics on a global stage. Martins book illuminates one of the enduring themes that shaped the medieval and early modern world.Paula E. Findlen, Stanford University In this revelatory immersion into the apocalyptic, messianic, and millenarian ideas and movements that created the modern world, John Jeffries Martin performs a kind of empathic time travel, entering into the psyche, spirituality, and temporalities of a cast of historical actors in profound moments of discovery. He argues that religious faithChristian, Jewish, and Muslimdid not oppose but rather fostered the making of a modern scientific spirit, buoyed along by a providential view of history and nature, and a deep conviction in the coming End of the World. Through thoughtful attention to the primary sources, Martin rereads the Renaissance, excavating a religious foundation at the core of even the most radical empirical thinking. Familiar icons like Ibn Khaldun, Columbus, Isaac Luria, and Francis Bacon emerge startlingly fresh and newly gleaned, agents of a history formerly untold and of a modern world made in the image of its imminent end.
