Joachim of Fiore and the Myth of the Eternal Evangel in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries [Hardcover]

Warwick Gould (Author), Marjorie Reeves (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 14, 2002 | ISBN-10: 0199242305 | ISBN-13: 978-0199242306 | Edition: Rev Enl Su

This renowned study provides a "map" of the influence of the powerful, original theology of Joachim of Fiore (c. 1132-1202). Radically revised since 1987, and augmented with further prophetic voices and symbols from the past, it confirms the deep structures of visions of the future while demonstrating and questioning the persistence of Joachimist themes in the twentieth-century.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...a learned and wide-ranging history of what the authors themselves describe as an obsession....Both authors...deserve credit for the range, depth, and accuracy of their scholarship"-- Journal of Theological Studies
