Document Details : Title: Is there an 'Apocalyptic Worlview' in the Apocalypse of Adam (NHC V, 5)? Author(s): POIRIER, Paul-Hubert Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 94 Issue: 2 Date: 2018 Pages: 223-233 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.94.2.3284876 Abstract : This paper examines the apocalyptic views of the Apocalypse of Adam, the fifth and final tractate of the Nag Hammadi Codex V, with a special attention given to the hymnic section about the thirteen 'kingdoms'. It concludes that this writing proposes a 'worldview' which is thoroughly 'apocalyptic' in the sense that it is the object of a revelation oriented towards an eschatological future. |
