Resumo(s)
Albeit what one reads today in the media, apocalyptic literature is ‘par excellence,’ literature of hope, not destruction. Therefore, the modern use of apocalyptic language or imagery to promote violent actions requires scholars and policymakers to pay careful attention. While violence appears to be predominant when using apocalyptic language and expectations, there are examples of its use to promote peace that should be considered. This paper aims to analyze this latter use of apocalyptic literature by examining the words of António Vieira, SJ (1608-1697) regarding universal evangelization in his opus magnum, the ‘Clavis prophetarum’.
