The representation of the end of the world in Second Temple Jewish literature and in early Christian literature

Research activities within the project CERM, to which the contract will be bound, as well as collaboration in the teaching and third mission activities of the Faculty of Humanities. In particular the contract holder will carry out research within the framework of the CERM research project, with particular focus on the Late Hellenistic period and the Early Imperial period, as well as on early Christian literature; crucially, s/he will carry our research into the Jewish and proto-Christian apocalyptic tradition, through the analysis of a wide range of sources. Particular attention will also be paid to the study of eschatological concepts, considered within their historical, religious and cultural context and in the various forms taken by apocalyptic imagery.
