Millennial movements have had a significant impact on history and lie behind many artistic and scientific views of the world. 'The End that Does' tracks the interplay of the arts, sciences, and millennial imagination across 3000 years. The volume presents essays ranging across the study of ancient ritualistic sacrifice, utopian technology and the American millennial dream, science fiction, and the apocalypse of the tabloids. The End that Does will be invaluable to any student or scholar interested in the history of millennialism.

Review:

'Millennialism and Society is a publishing project that is as bold as it is admirable. It combines a meticulous scholarly approach with ethical and political awareness. In a world haunted and endangered by apocalyptic visions of every kind, this series will surely contribute to a better sense of what we face and who we are.'
