In this fascinating study, two historians explore that tradition, showing how the beliefs of many fringe, distressed, disenfranchised, or purely mystical Christians and Jews have been transmitted across a millennium. Professors David Katz and Richard Popkin's Messianic Revolution offers a strong and lucid explanation of why and how this apocalyptic strain found especially fertile ground in the New World, and it throws new light on the many strands of biblical interpretation, both Jewish and Christian, that are woven into this complex, fascinating history.
Richard H. Popkin is professor emeritus of philosophy at Washington University and adjunct professor of philosophy and history at UCLA. He is the author of many books, including The History of Scepticism from Erasmus to Spinoza. He lives in Pacific Palisades, California.
