[Monday, October 13, 4:00pm, British Studies (5th floor of Norlin Library)] CHA Lecture Series, featuring Ira Chernus, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Colorado at Boulder. "The Wrong King: Apocalypse, Transformation (or Not), and the Choosing of American Presidents." Apocalyptic discourse has always been highly political. It was born out of an ancient Jewish desire for political transformation. American presidents have used it extensively too. But from Franklin D. Roosevelt to George W. Bush, our presidents have portrayed apocalyptic transformation as something to be feared and prevented. Ira Chernus will trace this history and show how it illuminates some of the surprising developments in this year’s race for the White House. Sponsored by CHA.
