Dr. Keith: In Reply to His Strictures on the "Horae Apocalypticae"; Together With Brief Notices of Other Chief Criticisms on the Seals and Witnesses of the Horae, in an Appendix MY purpose in the three Letters of this the first Part of my Treatise is the examination of your Apocalyptic theory or at least of such parts of it as may seem to be most peculiar and characteristic. These you will readily admit, I presume, to be your explanations severally of the Seals, the temple-measuring, and the Dragon and seven headed ten-horned Beast. And these then will constitute the main subjects of my examination; though I must not overlook altogether certain points also in your view of the Trumpets, whereby the Seals and the temple-measuring vision are connected together.'-the subject of my present Letter is your Apocalyptic Seals.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A collection of essays by several scholars, this book is an important study of the origins of post- and pre-millennialism in English theology. Initially, it is shown how the early Lutherans or reformers of the sixteenth century adopted the traditional Augustinian eschatology, a doctrine concerned with the end of the world or of humankind. It analyses how Luther paved the way for the interpretation of revelation not as heralding an apocalypse, but as an important historical and political event. For many Puritans this meant the collapse of the Papacy, the restoration of the Jews, and the dawn of a period of glory for the Church. This book traces the hopes and fears of Christians presented with the prophesised apocalypse, which was at this time felt to be imminent. It discusses the manner in which dogma was adapted to suit the interpretations of each religious sect, and the impact which historical events such as the thirty years war, exerted on these theologians. This is a clear discussion on the important elements of millennialism, and is particularly interesting set in the context of comparing these deeply religious views with our own modern thoughts upon entering a new millennium.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This collection of essays from a distinguished scholar of medieval, Renaissance, and Reformation history examines one of the most fascinating and turbulent periods of human history from the perspective of the social history of ideas. Taking advantage of the windows offered by late medieval scholastic thought, the Modern Devotion, Johann von Staupitz, Martin Luther, Marian piety, and the escalation of anti-Semitism, Heiko A. Oberman illumines the social and intellectual context for the reform of church and society in the sixteenth century. These programmatic essays not only provide analyses of Reformation events but also contribute to the contemporary search for new methods and models that better capture the meaning of that period. Recognizing the distance between intellectual and social historians of the Reformation, Oberman seeks to bridge the gap by pursuing an innovative path. The impact of the Reformation is traced through everyday life as well as through individual programs for change.
