Dear medievalists:
Could someone of you provide me with RECENT bibliography references
concerning millenarism? My knowledge on this theme is ridiculous. I
understand that there are two different approaches to this topic: those who
support the idea that people were terrified by the proximity of the Last
Judgment (something I cannot understand: if you are a good christian, why
being scared of going to Paradise?). On the other hand, some scholars say
that millenarism is nothing but a myth: only a bunch of fools thought that
the year 1000 A.D. meant the end.
Thank you for your help
Carlos Sastre
