Riassunto

The apocalypse is a motif that lies behind many religious beliefs and practices. 'War in Heaven/Heaven on Earth' theorizes the apocalyptic as it has arisen in a variety of religious traditions, from Native American religion to Islam in Northern Nigeria and new terrorist movements. Millennial theory and history are explored from the perspective of social psychology, sociology and post-modern philosophy. The volume is unique in applying an analysis of millennial themes to a comparative study of religion.

Recensione:

'Millennialism and Society is a publishing project that is as bold as it is admirable. It combines a meticulous scholarly approach with ethical and political awareness. In a world haunted and endangered by apocalyptic visions of every kind, this series will surely contribute to a better sense of what we face and who we are.' --Robert Jay Lifton, M.D., Lecturer in Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Health Alliance, and Distinguished Professor Emeritus, City University of New York
