Fearful Hope - Approaching the New Millennium (Paperback, New)

From John J. Collins's essay on the sense of ending in pre-Christian Judaism to Paul Boyer's discussion of apocalyptic fears and foreboding in the twentieth century, Fearful Hope offers fresh insight on millennial thinking in fields ranging from history and literature to philosophy, cinema, and politics. These essays explore the apocalyptic in both religious and secular culture, providing illuminating illustrations from biblical prophets, medieval manuscripts, cult movements, and even the current obsession with conspiracy in television shows like The X-Files. Finally, Archbishop Rembert Weakland and Bishop Johannes Hempel stress the importance of maintaining hope in our own age, the latter with particular reference to the fall of the Communist regime in East Germany.
