Excerpt from Premillennialism: Non-Scriptural, Non-Historic, Non-Scientific, Non-Philosophical The literature of the apostolic age vividly reflects a general expectation of Christ's early return to the world. History proved an effectual extinguisher of this hope. The passing of several generations of Christians without the physical reappearance of Christ seemed invincibly to attest that this conviction was clearly a misconception - a mistranslation of Christ's own teaching and purposes concerning his second advent. Premillennialism in Christian history has had a precarious tenure. During long periods its voice was hardly audible. Then, again, it has come to a sporadic and outspoken expression. The present seems to be marked as one of the periods of its most intense propagandism. Systematically, zealously, and apparently with strong financial support, its directing adherents are, in its interests, conducting a searching and far-flung educational campaign throughout the country.

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

"In this compelling intellectual and social history, Moorhead argues that for mainline Protestants in the late 19th century, time became endless, human-directed and without urgency. . . . Moorhead offers some brilliant observations about the legacy of postmillennialism and the human need for a definitive eschaton." —Publishers Weekly In the 19th century American Protestants firmly believed that when progress had run its course, there would be a Second Coming of Christ, the world would come to a supernatural End, and the predictions in the Apocalypse would come to pass. During the years covered in James Moorhead's study, however, moderate and liberal mainstream Protestants transformed this postmillennialism into a hope that this world would be the scene for limitless spiritual improvement and temporal progress. The sense of an End vanished with the arrival of the new millennium.
