Messianism, Apocalypse and Redemption: 20th-Century German Thought

A conference with the theme,'Messianism, Apocalypse and Redemption: 20th-century German Thought' is to be held at the University of Adelaide, South Australia, from Monday July 19 to Thursday July 22 2004.

The title of the conference was chosen to express the hopes, forebodings and tasks of post-Nietzschean 20th century German thinkers. The widespread deployment of the images of apocalypse, redemption and messianism across different religious and secular faiths as well as different disciplines seem to have been indicative of the need felt by a large number of German thinkers to draw upon more archaic yet still vital speech to capture the moods and responses to the catastrophes of the first half of the last century.

Rev Dr Robert Jenson, author of Systematic Theology (OUP), will attend it as a keynote speaker.
