"Excellent....an essential tool for the study of ancient
apocalyptic." Religious Studies Review, April 2001
"This splendid collection of essays explores religiously inspired
conceptions of the end of history ... Addressing critical aspects
of Western apocalypticism, the authors identify and define their
topics carefully, develop independent interpretations, and supply
excellent supporting annotated bibliographies. This superb
encyclopedia represents the best current scholarship ... it richly
deserves wide distribution."
