Description

For many, the apocalypse is the time when everyone gets their just deserts: The good will be rewarded and the wicked will be punished, but there are hints in Christian scripture that no one quite knows what the process of being resurrected will be like. Moss’ lecture will explore how the aftermath of Judgment Day is a space where contemporary desires are projected and revenge fantasies are executed.
