Description
These are the end-times. We hear this sentiment in one way or another from various sources, from the fundamentalist preacher to the scientist warning us of climate change. This is a time of economic uncertainty, political oppression, and cultural unraveling.
Apocalypse, in the ancient world and today, is the experience of disconnection, of unraveling. It is when old gods are dying and the old stories no longer have meaning.
Drawing from sources ranging from the ancient apocalyptic traditions to contemporary science, The Great Re-imagining explores the deep narratives that have brought us to the brink of apocalypse and invites us to re-imagine our place in the world.
