Book Description

It is the thesis of The New Apocalypse that William Blake is the most original prophet & seer in the history of Christendom, & that an understanding of his revolutionary work demands a new form of theological thinking. Unlike the epic poetry of Dante & Milton, Blake's prophetic poetry both transcends & negates its roots in the Christian tradition: it unveils a Jesus who is the totality of both God & man, & envisions a cosmic history reflecting a movement from Fall to Apocalypse. This study is an attempt to enter the world of Blake's vision, to appropriate from that vision a theological form that will be relevant to our world & to do so on the basis of dialectical understanding of theology. Hegel is chosen as a guide to the dialectical ground & meaning of Blake's vision in the belief that Hegel's dialectical "system" is a far more effective guide to Blake's vsionary world than are the traditional forms of Christian theology & mysticism. Thomas J. J. Altizer is a native of Charleston, West Virginia. He took his PhD at the University of Chicago & is presently Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies, The State University of New York at Stony Brook. Altizer can be characterized as the most radical theologian of our age, the only theologian who has constructed a full & comprehensive radical theology.

Book Description

In this insightful book, an underwater archaeologist and survival coach shows how understanding the collapse of civilizations can help us prepare for a troubled future. Pandemic, climate change, or war: our era is ripe with the odor of doomsday. In movies, books, and more, our imaginations run wild with visions of dreadful, abandoned cities and returning to the land in a desperate attempt at survival. In The Next Apocalypse, archaeologist Chris Begley argues that we completely misunderstand how disaster works. Examining past collapses of civilizations, such as the Maya and Rome, he argues that these breakdowns are actually less about cataclysmic destruction than they are about long processes of change. In short: it’s what happens after the initial uproar that matters. Some people abandon their homes and neighbors; others band together to start anew. As we anticipate our own fate, Begley tells us that it was communities, not lone heroes, who survived past apocalypses—and who will survive the next. Fusing archaeology, survivalism, and social criticism, The Next Apocalypse is an essential read for anxious times.

Book Description

AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • An absorbing, deeply felt book about our anxious present tense—and coming to grips with the future, by the author of the award-winning To Be a Machine. “Deeply funny and life-affirming, with a warm, generous outlook even on the most challenging of subjects.” —Esquire We’re alive in a time of worst-case scenarios: The weather has gone uncanny. A pandemic draws our global community to a halt. Everywhere you look there’s an omen, a joke whose punchline is the end of the world. How is a person supposed to live in the shadow of such a grim future? What might it be like to live through the worst? And what on earth is anybody doing about it? Dublin-based writer Mark O’Connell is consumed by these questions—and, as the father of two young children, he finds them increasingly urgent. In Notes from an Apocalypse, he crosses the globe in pursuit of answers. He tours survival bunkers in South Dakota. He ventures to New Zealand, a favored retreat of billionaires banking on civilization’s collapse. He engages with would-be Mars colonists, preppers, right-wing conspiracists. And he bears witness to places, like Chernobyl, that the future has already visited—real-life portraits of the end of the world as we know it. What emerges is an absorbing, funny, and deeply felt book about our anxious present tense—and coming to grips with what’s ahead.
