Excerpt from Twelve Lectures on the Great Events of Unfulfilled Prophecy: Which Still Await Their Accomplishments, and Are Approaching Their Fulfillment The author of the following treatise on unfulfilled Prophecy was induced, more than twenty years ago, (in consequence of an unsuccessful attempt to explain a Prophecy to a layman who inquired its meaning, ) to give more earnest heed than before to those things which the prophets have spoken. He felt this to be a duty as well as pleasure on two accounts: 1. That he might inform and satisfy himself what the great purposes of God concerning the future were; and 2. Be able, as a public teacher of God's word, to show inquirers after truth the things (as he might discover them) which shall be hereafter, according to the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God. Dark as the subject at first appeared to his mind, constant application and research brought increasing light and clearer views, until at last he began to speak with that confidence which one obtains who feels assured that he has been brought out of darkness into light, and that his eyes have been opened to "behold wondrous things out of God's law." Fully aware of the dangers as well as difficulties of this branch of sacred study, he has not been intimidated by either, but trusting in the promise that they who seek for truth in God's word as for hid treasure, shall find it, he has persevered in searching into the deep things of God - things declared to be "hidden from the wise and the prudent," but promised to be "revealed unto babes."

Millions of Americans take the Bible at its word and turn to like-minded local ministers and TV preachers, periodicals and paperbacks for help in finding their place in God’s prophetic plan for mankind. And yet, influential as this phenomenon is in the worldview of so many, the belief in biblical prophecy remains a popular mystery, largely unstudied and little understood. When Time Shall Be No More offers for the first time an in-depth look at the subtle, pervasive ways in which prophecy belief shapes contemporary American thought and culture. Belief in prophecy dates back to antiquity, and there Paul Boyer begins, seeking out the origins of this particular brand of faith in early Jewish and Christian apocalyptic writings, then tracing its development over time. Against this broad historical overview, the effect of prophecy belief on the events and themes of recent decades emerges in clear and striking detail. Nuclear war, the Soviet Union, Israel and the Middle East, the destiny of the United States, the rise of a computerized global economic order—Boyer shows how impressive feats of exegesis have incorporated all of these in the popular imagination in terms of the Bible’s apocalyptic works. Reflecting finally on the tenacity of prophecy belief in our supposedly secular age, Boyer considers the direction such popular conviction might take—and the forms it might assume—in the post–Cold War era. The product of a four-year immersion in the literature and culture of prophecy belief, When Time Shall Be No More serves as a pathbreaking guide to this vast terra incognita of contemporary American popular thought—a thorough and thoroughly fascinating index to its sources, its implications, and its enduring appeal.

Standing Against the Whirlwind is a history of the Evangelical party in the Episcopal Church in nineteenth-century America. A surprising revisionist account of the church's first century, it reveals the extent to which evangelical Episcopalians helped to shape the piety, identity, theology, and mission of the church. Using the life and career of one of the party's greatest leaders, Charles Pettit McIlvaine, the second bishop of Ohio, Diana Butler blends institutional history with biography to explore the vicissitudes and tribulations of evangelicals in a church that often seemed inhospitable to their version of the Gospel. This gracefully written narrative history of a neglected movement sheds light on evangelical religion within a particular denomination and broadens the interpretation of nineteenth-century American evangelicalism as a whole. In addition, it elucidates such wider cultural and religious issues as the meaning of millennialism and the nature of the crisis over slavery.
