| Summary: | This volume is a monograph which was submitted at the University of Zimbabwe in Harare as a PhD thesis. It deals with the subject of millenarianism, a movement which the author sees as developing from biblical times. He draws lines of connection between contemporary Jehovah’s Witnesses and Johane Masowe movements with prophetic and apocalyptic movements in the Bible. This volume presents vast amounts of data on prophecy, apocalypticism and millenarianism for students and scholars of the Bible alike. Further, ordinary readers of the Bible will find this volume fascinating to read. There is also detailed information on the development of the two contemporary movements Jehovah’s Witnesses and Johane Masowe in Zimbabwe. Diese Monographie ist die Druckfassung einer Doktorarbeit, die an der University of Zimbabwe in Harare eingereicht wurde. Sie befasst sich mit dem Milleniarismus, einer Strömung, deren Ursprung der Autor in biblischen Zeiten datiert. Er zieht Verbindungslinien zwischen prophetischen und apokalyptischen Bewegungen in der Bibel einerseits und den zeitgenössischen Bewegungen der Zeugen Jehovas und Johane Masowe in Simbabwe. |
