A collection of pronouncements, edicts, and scriptures predicting
the apocalypse The approach of the year 2000 has made the study of
apocalyptic movements trendy. But groups anticipating the end of
the world will continue to predict Armageddon even after the
calendar clicks to triple 0s. A Doomsday Reader brings together
pronouncements, edicts, and scriptures written by prominent
apocalyptic movements from a wide range of traditions and
ideologies to offer an exceptional look into their belief systems.
Focused on attaining paradise, millenarianism often anticipates
great, cosmic change. While most think of religious belief as
motivating such fervor, Daniels' comparative approach encompasses
secular movements such as environmentalism and the Montana Freemen,
and argues that such groups are often more political than religious
in nature. The book includes documents from groups such as the
Branch Davidians, the Order of the Solar Temple, Heaven's Gate, and
white supremacists. Each document is preceded by a substantive
introduction placing the movement and its beliefs in context. This
important overview of contemporary politics of the End will remain
a valuable resource long after the year 2000 has come and gone.
