Jewish and Christian Apocalypses: The Schweich Lectures, 1913 (1914) is a book written by F. Crawford Burkitt. The book is a collection of lectures that were delivered by Burkitt at the British Academy in 1913. The lectures explore the similarities and differences between Jewish and Christian apocalyptic literature. Burkitt examines the origins of apocalyptic literature and its development in both Jewish and Christian traditions. He also discusses the different themes and motifs that are present in apocalyptic literature, such as the end of the world, the coming of a messiah, and the judgment of the wicked. Burkitt's analysis offers a fascinating insight into the cultural and religious history of the ancient Middle East. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of religious studies, theology, and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
