Description: Expecting Armageddon by Jon R. Stone Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description What happens when prophecies of the end of time and a millennial paradise, which have marked Western religious thought, fail? Cross-cultural and comparative, this anthology chronicles forty years of research into failed prophecy. Publisher Description The expectation of an end to time and the yearning for a millennial paradise have been recurring themes in Western religious thought. But when we speak of expectation of the worlds end we are mindful of the fact that generation after generation of millenarians have been disappointed. Their endtime hopes and prophecies have not come true. What happens, one might ask, when prophecies fail? Does failure spell the end of the very movements that embrace such expectations? The aim of this anthology is to gather together in one volume the essential research from the fields of sociology and psychology that seeks to answer this intriguing question as first raised by Festinger in his 1956 work, When Prophecy Fails. Cross-cultural and comparative, this collection chronicles forty years of research into failed prophecy and response to the attending cognitive dissonance it produces that is at once timely and informative.
