Description
Senior Advisor: Frederic J. Baumgartner (Virginia Polytechnic Institute)


This volume in the Millennialism and Society series focuses on theoretical
approaches to the apocalyptic, past and present. Not since Norman Cohn's The Pursuit of the Millennium has there been such a profound theoretical exploration of millennial themes, coupled for the first time with a strong
comparative dimension. Essays theorize the apocalyptic as it has arisen in a variety of religious traditions from Islam to Native American religion, drawing upon and engaging in a reflexive critique of theories from social
psychology, sociology, and post-modern philosophy to do so.

Reviews
'Millennialism and Society is a publishing project that is as bold as it is admirable. It combines a meticulous scholarly approach with ethical and political awareness. In a world haunted and endangered by apocalyptic visions of every kind, this series will surely contribute to a better sense of what we face and who we are.'

Robert Jay Lifton, M.D., Lecturer in Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Health Alliance, and Distinguished Professor Emeritus, City University of New York
