	WEBER, EUGEN Apocalypses - Prophecies, Cults , and Millennial , Millennium Beliefs Through the Ages - By Eugen Weber Vancouver: Vintage Pub, 1999. First Edition. Soft Cover. 5 x 8 " 0679310126 1999 Softcover ... Brand new from publisher ... Never opened , Never owned ... Gift Giving quality ... 294 pages ... What drove eminent historian Eugen Weber to write this book ? ... His desire to redress the historical and religious amnesia that has consigned the study of apocalyptic and millenialist thought to the lunatic fringe. An absolute belief in the end time was omnipresent until the 17th century, and retains adherents even now. Apocalyptic visions and prophesies inspired crusades, scientific discoveries, works of art, voyages such as those of Christopher Columbus, rebellions, and reforms ... Elegantly written, as witty and entertaining as it is insightful, this book displays Weber's talents a a stylist and historical detective; this is more a travel book of the the apocalypse than a definitive academic treatment. And at its heart is a profound respect for the resilience of alternative nationalities, and for the luxuriant growth of millenarianism in Asia, Africa and South America. In a new millennium beset by a host of apocalyptic predictions and cults, this book offers a sympathetic review of creeds we ignore at our peril. Until his recent retirement, Weber held the Joan Palevsky Chair of Modern European History at UCLA; he is one of the foremost interpreters of French history. Author of more than a dozen books, he has also written and narrated The Western Tradition, a 52 part series for PBS Public Broadcasting ...

What drove eminent historian Eugen Weber to write this book ? ... His desire to redress the historical and religious amnesia that has consigned the study of apocalyptic and millenialist thought to the lunatic fringe. An absolute belief in the end time was omnipresent until the 17th century, and retains adherents even now. Apocalyptic visions and prophesies inspired crusades, scientific discoveries, works of art, voyages such as those of Christopher Columbus, rebellions, and reforms ... Elegantly written, as witty and entertaining as it is insightful, this book displays Weber's talents a a stylist and historical detective; this is more a travel book of the the apocalypse than a definitive academic treatment. And at its heart is a profound respect for the resilience of alternative nationalities, and for the luxuriant growth of millenarianism in Asia, Africa and South America. In a new millennium beset by a host of apocalyptic predictions and cults, this book offers a sympathetic review of creeds we ignore at our peril. Until his recent retirement, Weber held the Joan Palevsky Chair of Modern European History at UCLA; he is one of the foremost interpreters of French history. Author of more than a dozen books, he has also written and narrated The Western Tradition, a 52 part series for PBS Public Broadcasting ...
