Apocalypses
by Eugen Weber
Prophecies, Cults and Millennial Beliefs Throughout the Ages In these secular times, confessing to a belief in the apocaly consigns a person to Christian fundamentalism or to cult status. But for centuries the Judaeo-Christian version of apocalypse - its Revelations-driven belief in the destruction of evil and the Second Coming of Christ - was accepted as the literal truth and ultimate destination of human existence. The distinguished historian Eugen Weber redresses the historical and religious amnesia that has consigned the study of apocalyptic and millennial thought to the lunatic fringe. Elegantly written, as witty and entertaining as its profound, this is more a travel book of the apocalypse than a definitive academic treatment. And at its heart is a profound respect for the resilience of alternative rationalities, and for the luxuriant current growth of millenarianism in Africa, Asia and Published by Vintage in 1999, this book is in good + used condition. It has some light wear to the cover edges and corners and a small crease.
