Here are the key insights from his exploration:## 1. Ancient Origins: Weber begins by examining the roots of apocalyptic beliefs in both Western and Eastern traditions. From Zarathustra to the Jews and earliest Christians, an unwavering conviction in the ultimate clash between good and evil permeated ancient societies.- This belief fueled historical events, inspiring Crusades, scientific discoveries, artistic creations, and even voyages like Christopher Columbus. ## 2. Apocalyptic Pulse: - Over centuries, apocalyptic fervour persisted. American abolitionists, pivotal in the fight against slavery, held firm to the idea of a final reckoning.- The nineteenth and twentieth centuries witnessed a shift toward the fringe, with apocalyptic movements sometimes veering into the realm of the eccentric. ## 3. Detective Work: Weber turns detective, uncovering alternative rationalities across continents. He reveals the diverse expressions of millennial thought from the West to Asia, Africa, and South America. - His storytelling prowess combines with historical rigour, breathing life into these forgotten creeds.## 4. Our Second Millennium: - As we approach our second millennium, Weber's book serves as a map of understanding. In an era rife with apocalyptic predictions and cults, we ignore these ancient beliefs at our peril.## ## Chapters and Themes: 1. Chronologies and Fins de Siècle: # 2. Apocalypses and Millenarianisms:# 3. In Dark and Bloody Times: # 4. Revivalists and Antichrists: # 5. Apocalypse and Science: # 6. Enlightenment?: # 7. Apocalypse in Worldly Times: # 8. Pursuits of the Millennium: # 9. Times Noblest Offspring: # 10. The Twentieth Century:## ## Conclusion: Weber's meticulous research and eloquent prose breathe life into forgotten narratives. As we grapple with our uncertainties, "Apocalypses" reminds us that the echoes of ancient beliefs still resonate in our modern world.## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.
