Armageddon Now The End of the World A to Z

Mining the religious and secular divide, this book examines the history of apocalyptic beliefs. It explains the various omens and prophecies as well as the actual events that may trigger the end, such as collisions with asteroids, nuclear war, the oil crisis, global warming, and famine. It also discusses the long history on the end of history.

Jim Willis, a minister with the United Church of Christ, serves as adjunct professor of comparative religion and cross-cultural studies at Mt. Wachusett Community College.
