Book looks brand new and unread to me. >>> Covers the history of theories of the end of the world, how contemporary cult leaders approach the coming of the millennium, and how the Bible is sometimes misunderstood as forecasting specific dates. >>> An excellent overview (published in 1998) of many prominent groups and teachers that focus on end-of-the-world scenarios as their reason for being. The book includes recent doomsday cults (Branch Davidians, Heaven's Gate, etc.), right-wing militia groups, old school sects such as the Jehovah's Witnesses, and well-known religious end-time "prophecy" experts. Highlights include sections that destroy the Nostadamus myth, etc., etc.
