In this volume, the contributions analyze diverse apocalyptic phenomena, religious and secular alike. The authors use the category of entanglements in order to demonstrate that the terms “religious” and “secular” remain ideal type abstractions, which dissolve upon a closer empirical look. They converge on the assumption that apocalypse as literature genre and lens of interpretation either leads towards emancipation or totalitarian control. The role of apocalypse in the advance of modernity is analyzed and how the once religious concept changes through secularization and adaptation by various movements on the political spectrum. The main goal is to achieve mutual appreciation by both religious and secular actors alike, who seek to enhance the common good. Both the church and secular society must humbly recognize that each needs the other. The church must recover its apocalyptic roots and the secular society admit its limitations.

Die apokalyptischen Texte erzählen auf kunstvolle Weise eine spannende story des Volkes Gottes in literarisch gefassten Visionen – auch Johannes und er Autor von 2 Baruch, die beide ihre Adressatengemeinschaften in ihrem Israel-Sein ermutigen wollen. Dazu verbinden sie ihr Visionskorpus mit dem kommunikativen Mittel des Briefes, was einen Vergleich beider Werke nahelegt. Mit seinem Werk zur Johannesapokalypse und 2 Baruch legt John Dik erstmals einen ausführlichen motivgeschichtlichen und gattungskritischen Vergleich vor, durch den sowohl die jüdischen traditionsgeschichtlichen Kontexte für das letzte Buch des Neuen Testaments herausgestellt werden als auch die Relevanz der Johannesapokalypse für die jüdische Apokalyptik. The apocalyptic texts skilfully tell an exciting story of God's people in literary visions – including John and the author of 2 Baruch, who both want to encourage their communities to be part of this story and to grasp their Israel-identity more fully. To this end, both works combine their visionary corpus with the form of a letter as a means of communication. In this book on the Apocalypse of John and 2 Baruch, John Dik presents for the first time a detailed comparison of the history of motifs and genre criticism, which emphasises both the Jewish traditional-historical contexts for the last book of the New Testament and the relevance of the Apocalypse of John for other Jewish apocalypses.
