Questions for Discussion:

Why do you think that “even students who have grown up in a very religious environment are always a little surprised” to see what’s in the book of Revelations? What, if anything, does this imply about the nature of a contemporary religious education?

In what ways does the evolution in meaning of “apocalypse” from the original Greek “revelation” to current notions of nuclear fireballs illustrate the value in an etymological approach to appreciating the historical evolution of key concepts? Many Ideas Roadshow conversations explicitly highlight historians focusing on etymological approaches to better understand the history of ideas—readers are referred to Chapter 1 of Deconstructing Genius with Darrin McMahon, Chapter 2 of Democracy: Clarifying the Muddle with John Dunn, Chapter 2 of Eating One’s Own: Examining Civil War with David Armitage, Chapter 1 of Pants on Fire: On Lying in Politics with Martin Jay and Chapters 1, 2 and 7 of Quest for Freedom with Quentin Skinner.
