| Summary: | Apocalypticism is a phenomenon that shaped Christian beliefs beginning with the earliest Christian writings. Today apocalypticism is often associated with and claimed by fundamentalist groups. Yet apocalyptic teaching and imagery is also connected with the common Christian teaching on eschatology and the parousia. The danger of a fundamentalist appropriation of apocalypticism lies in the belief that the salvation inherent in the death and resurrection of Christ is somehow not enough, and that the world needs another divine intervention beyond Christ. But apocalyptic language and imagery are appropriate only in when set in relation to Jesus as Messiah and Son of God. |
