Book Synopsis City of Ruins by : Dereck Daschke
Book excerpt: This psychoanalytic study reads Jewish apocalypses as texts of mourning for the destruction of Jerusalem, arguing that the seers' experiences of traumatic loss, then visions of healing and recovery, all work to achieve the apocalyptic cure for ancient Jewish society.
