A Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2015 The first comprehensive history of modern American evangelicalism to appear in a generation, American Apocalypse shows how a group of radical Protestants, anticipating the end of the world, paradoxically transformed it. “The history Sutton assembles is rich, and the connections are startling.” —New Yorker “American Apocalypse relentlessly and impressively shows how evangelicals have interpreted almost every domestic or international crisis in relation to Christ’s return and his judgment upon the wicked...Sutton sees one of the most troubling aspects of evangelical influence in the spread of the apocalyptic outlook among Republican politicians with the rise of the Religious Right...American Apocalypse clearly shows just how popular evangelical apocalypticism has been and, during the Cold War, how the combination of odd belief and political power could produce a sleepless night or two.” —D. G. Hart, Wall Street Journal “American Apocalypse is the best history of American evangelicalism I’ve read in some time...If you want to understand why compromise has become a dirty word in the GOP today and how cultural politics is splitting the nation apart, American Apocalypse is an excellent place to start.” —Stephen Prothero, Bookforum

Excerpt from Lectures on the Apocalypse: Critical, Expository, and Practical The two former Editions of this Work commenced with two Lectures "On the Doctrine of a Millennium," which are now reprinted separately in the same size as the present Volume. Accordingly, what was the Third Lecture in the two former Editions, is the First Lecture in this Impression; and so on, in succession. The "Appendix," to which reference is sometimes made in the Notes to these Lectures, is subjoined to a Volume published in 1849, which contains the "Greek d104 of the Apocalypse with MSS. collations." The "Harmony of the Apocalypse, being a revised English Version with Notes," to which also reference is occasionally made, is likewise contained in that Volume, and was reprinted separately in 4to. in 1851.

The impact of The Late Great Planet Earth cannot be overstated. The New York Times called it the "no. 1 non-fiction bestseller of the decade." For Christians and non-Christians of the 1970s, Hal Lindsey's blockbuster served as a wake-up call on events soon to come and events already unfolding -- all leading up to the greatest event of all: the return of Jesus Christ. The years since have confirmed Lindsey's insights into what biblical prophecy says about the times we live in. Whether you're a church-going believer or someone who wouldn't darken the door of a Christian institution, the Bible has much to tell you about the imminent future of this planet. In the midst of an out-of-control generation, it reveals a grand design that's unfolding exactly according to plan. The rebirth of Israel. The threat of war in the Middle East. An increase in natural catastrophes. The revival of Satanism and witchcraft. These and other signs, foreseen by prophets from Moses to Jesus, portend the coming of an antichrist . . . of a war which will bring humanity to the brink of destruction . . . and of incredible deliverance for a desperate, dying planet.

The Apocalypse informed medieval expectations of the end of the world, responses to strange and exotic invaders, and the legend of Alexander the Great. An Alexandrian World Chronicle represented the early Christian chronicle tradition that would dominate medieval historiography. Both crossed the Mediterranean in Late Antiquity.

Excerpt from Lectures on the Apocalypse After the publishing house of G. Reimar has issued Bleek's Introductions to the Old and New Testament, his Lectures on the Apocalypse now appear. The Editor undertakes the commission entrusted to him the more willingly, as he is enabled by it to pay publicly a part of the gratitude which he owed his affectionate teacher, who had been to him a fatherly friend. He had certainly many scruples about publishing the latter work. Since Bleek had adapted these Lectures only to two hours in the week in the Wintersemester, we cannot expect in them that profundity and fulness of learning which has made his Epistle to the Hebrews an epoch-making book in exegetical science. He had farther to consider that, with a generosity worthy of recognition and which should put many scholars to shame, Bleek had placed his Heft at the disposal of his former teacher, De Wette, for the latter's labours on the Apocalypse, so that a considerable portion of his researches was already contained in the Commentary of this scholar. Besides, he had himself unfolded his views in several Essays in different periodicals. Lastly, immediately after his death, the more comprehensive Commentary of Dusterdiek had appeared.

Now a National Bestseller! Climate change is real but it’s not the end of the world. It is not even our most serious environmental problem. Michael Shellenberger has been fighting for a greener planet for decades. He helped save the world’s last unprotected redwoods. He co-created the predecessor to today’s Green New Deal. And he led a successful effort by climate scientists and activists to keep nuclear plants operating, preventing a spike of emissions. But in 2019, as some claimed “billions of people are going to die,” contributing to rising anxiety, including among adolescents, Shellenberger decided that, as a lifelong environmental activist, leading energy expert, and father of a teenage daughter, he needed to speak out to separate science from fiction. Despite decades of news media attention, many remain ignorant of basic facts. Carbon emissions peaked and have been declining in most developed nations for over a decade. Deaths from extreme weather, even in poor nations, declined 80 percent over the last four decades. And the risk of Earth warming to very high temperatures is increasingly unlikely thanks to slowing population growth and abundant natural gas. Curiously, the people who are the most alarmist about the problems also tend to oppose the obvious solutions. What’s really behind the rise of apocalyptic environmentalism? There are powerful financial interests. There are desires for status and power. But most of all there is a desire among supposedly secular people for transcendence. This spiritual impulse can be natural and healthy. But in preaching fear without love, and guilt without redemption, the new religion is failing to satisfy our deepest psychological and existential needs.
