Covers the history of theories of the end of the world, how contemporary cult leaders approach the coming of the millenium, and how the Bible is sometimes misunderstood as forecasting specific dates The author, director of the Religious Information Center in Southern California, takes a broad historical and pan-national approach to society's ever-present obsession with the end of the world. Citing antecedents from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, he details the myriad popular doomsday prophets that have sprung up in America, the new Russia, and other international movements.
