Anotácia knihy

Why do some endtime enthusiasts become violent while§others do not? There are no simple clean-cut answers§to the question. From the perspective of comparative§religion the author presents some guidelines for§understanding the complexity of rhetorical§''apocalyptic terror''.§By focusing on the end she argues that hunger for§urgent and dramatic societal change does not§automatically imply violent behaviour. §Leppäkari uses case studies and theological analysis§to tackle the problem of violence within the context§of Jewish and Christian endtime activists working§from within the city Jerusalem and argues that§intense transmissions of apocalyptic representations§are sources of inspiration which can motivate people§to act, whether peacefully or violently for a cause.§When making a transition from "interpreting God s§will" to "acting out God''s will", significant changes§have taken place. These changes in apocalyptic§tendencies need, however, not to result in outbreaks§of violence.
