DESCRIPTION:Flyer\nThe title of Istvan Perczel was changed: "The Revelatio
 ns of the Seraphic Gregory (of Edessa) - a Syriac apocalyptic text from In
 dia"\nThe purpose of the workshop is to explore the religious phenomena/sp
 eculations dubbed as apocalypticism\, eschatology and messianism in differ
 ent religions. While the three themes can be inter-related\, they may also
  represent three very different types of speculation about quite diverse s
 ets of issues. Thus\, papers will focus on subjects that may deal with the
  'apocalypse' in the original Greek sense of the term\, i.e. a 'revelation
 '\, be those revelations of heavenly mysteries\, secrets of nature or cosm
 os\, or revelations of the future course of human history\, sometimes couc
 hed in terms of a political/religious propaganda.  Eschatology\, then\, u
 sually refers to ideas/texts that predict the 'Last things' before the End
  of the world. These can be (usually disastrous) natural phenomena that pr
 ecede the End of the world\, again historical events\, a succession of kin
 gs and/or priests etc.\, and more often than not such texts include also e
 xpectations of a so-called Messiah and/or Anti- Messiah (for example\, Arm
 ilos\, the Antichrist\, or the Dajjal in Jewish\, Christian\, and Muslim t
 raditions respectively).\n
