Millennium, Messiahs, and Mayhem - Contemporary Apocalyptic Movements (Hardcover)

Millennium, Messiahs and Mayhem brings together scholars of apocalyptic and millennial groups to explore aspects of contemporary apocalyptic fervor. Opening with a discussion of various theories of apocalypticism, the editors then analyze how millennialist movements have gained ground in largely secular societal circles. Section three discusses the links between apocalypticism and established churches, while the final part of the book looks at examples of violence and confrontation, from Waco to Solar Temple to the Aum Shinri Kyo subway disaster in Japan.
