- An accessible and enlightening history of the 'apocalypses'--ancient Jewish and Christian works -- providing fresh insights into the fascinating genre of literature
- Shows how the apocalypses were concerned not only with popular views of the last judgment and violent end of the world, but with reward and punishment after death, the heavenly temple, and the revelation of astronomical phenomena and other secrets of nature
- Traces the tradition of apocalyptic writing through the Middle Ages, through to the modern era, when social movements still prophesise the world’s imminent demise
