Expecting the End: Millennialism in Social and Historical Context
ISBN: 9781932792386 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 329 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Jesus' promise that "the end" draws near has spawned an expectation of that grand event across various religious groups. This volume examines the abiding social issues that surround the continued presence of apocalyptic anticipation by setting them in historical, present-day, and future manifestations. Approaching this fervent expectation from a broad perspective, Gribben and Newport explore the contemporary movements with insightful analysis that provokes discussion and even self-reflection.

Apocalypse and Millennium: Studies in Biblical Eisegesis
ISBN: 9780521068451 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book is about the various ways in which the Book of Revelation (the Apocalypse) has been interpreted over the past 300 years. It examines in detail Methodist, Baptist, Anglican, and Catholic uses of Revelation from 1600 to 1800, and then American Millerism and Seventh-day Adventist uses from 1800 to David Koresh and the "Waco Disaster." The book argues that, far from being a random sequence of bizarre statements, millennial schemes (including the setting of dates for Christ's second coming) are more often characterized by internally consistent interpretations of scripture.

The Branch Davidians of Waco: The History and Beliefs of an Apocalyptic Sect
ISBN: 9780199245741 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What were the beliefs of the Branch Davidians? This is the first full scholarly account of their history. Kenneth G. C. Newport argues that, far from being an act of unfathomable religious insanity, the calamitous fire at Waco in 1993 was the culmination of a long theological and historical tradition that goes back many decades. The Branch Davidians under David Koresh were an eschatologically confident community that had long expected that the American government, whom they identified as the Lamb-like Beast of the book of Revelation, would one day arrive to seek to destroy God's remnant...

A Man of One Book?: John Wesley's Interpretation and Use of the Bible
ISBN: 9781842275139 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. John Wesley claimed to be a man of one book and early Wesley scholarship accepted uncritically that the Bible was his supreme authority. In the late twentieth-century American Wesley scholars discussed what has been termed the Wesley Quadrilateral (the authority of the Bible, tradition, reason and experience) and this to some extent does help explain the method by which Wesley read and interpreted the Bible. However, modern biblical reader-response criticism has drawn attention to the central role of the reader in his/her interpretation of scriptural texts. Donald Bullen argues that Wesley...
