MACMILLAN Evangelical Millennialism in the Trans-Atlantic World, 1500-2000

Product Description This book offers the first complete overview of the intellectual history of one of the most significant contemporary cultural trends – the apocalyptic expectations of European and American evangelicals – in an account that guides readers into the origins, its evolution, and its revolutionary potential in the modern world. Review 'Crawford Gribben is a prolific scholar of this contemporary culture and its early modern antecedents, and this lucid survey in the history of ideas is a further valuable (and expensive) product of a decade's labour in this distinctive plot... fine work.' - Journal of Ecclesiastical History 'This volume properly calls attention to a neglected theme and provides a masterly overview of the subject both chronologically and analytically. Every seminary library needs to have it on its shelves.' - Baptist Quarterly About the Author CRAWFORD GRIBBEN is Professor of Early Modern British History in the School of History and Anthropology, Queen's University Belfast, and is the author of a number of books on the literary cultures of puritanism and evangelicalism.
