Dread and Hope: Christian Eschatology and Pop Culture - Hardcover

by Joshua Wise (Author)

Dread and Hope brings early Christian hopes concerning the consummation of the cosmos and modern apocalyptic pop-culture into dialog. Drawing from a wide range of research and media, Joshua Wise examines how figures like Antiochus IV, Damien from The Omen, the Emperor Nero, and Winston Smith from Orwell's 1984 inform each other.
