Beschreibung
Storm Visions explores the enduring impact of extreme weather on cultural narratives, religious texts, and prophetic visions. Examining storms as divine judgment and metaphors for societal collapse, it reveals how environmental phenomena have shaped our understanding of morality, power, and the future. For instance, ancient civilizations, lacking scientific understanding, often attributed storms to deities, weaving these events into foundational stories that influenced social norms. The book uniquely combines theological interpretations with scientific data, drawing from biblical studies, earth sciences geography, and religious studies.
Beginning with the geological and meteorological realities of storms, Storm Visions analyzes storm-related narratives in traditions like the Hebrew Bible and the Quran, focusing on events like the Flood and the plagues of Egypt. It culminates by tracing storm imagery in modern apocalyptic thought and environmental movements, demonstrating the continued relevance of these ancient anxieties.
