ON APOCALYPTIC FEATURES IN SOME PALESTINIAN APOCALYPTIC TRADITIONS
Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Apocalyptc was an important literary genre among Muslum scholars. It reflected religious ideas, functioned as a tool to advance social and political goals, and strived to shape public opinion. This article, following important observations of A. Elad, studies the significance of some minor Palestinian sites, which were connected to a specific apocalyptic event: The death of the dajjal, the antichrist of the Musalim tradition. The Muslim texts are examined in connection with non-Muslim sources (especially Jewish apocalyptic materials), against the historical background, and in relation to the Muslim system of values.
