A Doomsday Reader: Prophets, Predictors and Hucksters of Salvation

By (author) Ted Daniels






| book description |

This collection of pronouncements, edicts and scriptures by apocalyptic movements is drawn from a wide range of traditions and ideologies. Apocalyptic fervour is often thought of as being motivated by religious belief, but Daniels argues that such groups are often more political than religious in nature. The groups represented include the Montana Freemen, the Branch Davidians, the Order of the Solar Temple, Heaven's Gate, environmentalists and white supremacists, and each document is preceded by an introduction placing the movement and its beliefs in context.
