Climbing Jacobâs Ladder: Crisis, Chiliasm, and Transcendence in the Thought of Paul Nagel (â 1624), a Lutheran Dissident during the Time of the Thirty Yearsâ War
Although now forgotten, Paul Nagel was one of the most notorious seventeenthâcentury critics of orthodox Lutheranism. His Prognosticon AstrologoâCabalisticum (1618) and Stellae Prodigiosae (1619), in which he sketched a complex astrologicalâprophetic system, were followed by numerous books and pamphlets over the next five years in which he predicted the arrival of the Last Judgement in 1666. Although the failure of his prophecies for 1624 led to a collapse of interest in his prognostications, he turns out to have been a key figure in early seventeenthâcentury Protestantism. How he strayed from his original orthodox position is the subject of this essay.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17496971003783765
