Von Zeitenwenden und Zeitenenden: Reflexion und Konstruktion von Endzeiten und Epochenwenden im Spannungsfeld von Antike und Christentum (German Edition)

About this book

The contributions in this volume explore the paradigm shift that took place in the concept of time during the Roman Empire: while the perception of time in Greco-Roman antiquity was multiform and often cyclical, the early Christian period was marked by a linear and eschatological conception of time.
