This groundbreaking study reveals the distinctive impact of apocalyptic ideas about
time, evil and power on church and society in the Latin West, c.400-c.1050. Drawing
on evidence from late antiquity, the Frankish kingdoms, Anglo-Saxon England, Spain
and Byzantium and sociological models, James Palmer shows that apocalyptic thought
was a more powerful part of mainstream political ideologies and religious reform than
many historians believe. Moving beyond the standard 'Terrors of the Year 1000', The
Apocalypse in the Early Middle Ages opens up broader perspectives on heresy, the Antichrist
and Last World Emperor legends, chronography, and the relationship between eschatology
and apocalypticism. In the process, it offers reassessments of the worlds of Augustine,
Gregory of Tours, Bede, Charlemagne and the Ottonians, providing a wide-ranging and
up-to-date survey of medieval apocalyptic thought. This is the first full-length English-language
treatment of a fundamental and controversial part of medieval religion and society
