John Jeffries Martin offers a revisionary examination of the early modern period, arguing that apocalyptic anticipation was a central engine of historical change. By analyzing how the expectation of an imminent end shaped political, religious, and intellectual life, the author reveals how these eschatological visions catalyzed the transformation of European society. This study challenges conventional narratives by positioning the fear and hope of the apocalypse as a fundamental driver of modernity.
