5.0 out of 5 stars
Already a Standard Reference, May 6, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Millennialism and Millennial Movements (Religion and Society) (Hardcover)
This book is an essential reference for anyone doing research in the field of how religious views influence behavior of all sorts, including and especially political behavior. Particularly useful in this regard is Frederick Clarkson's essay on Christian Reconstructionism and Chip Berlet's essay on "Demonization." Both are authors of recent books that flesh out these themes further.
No college or university library should be without at least one copy in the reference section, and another on the shelves for general circulation. Students of politics, religion, sociology, history, women's studies and many more will find much useful material in this comprehensive volume.

This review is from: Encyclopedia of Millennialism and Millennial Movements (Religion and Society) (Hardcover)
As a Boston University Student, I am fortunate enough to have this work's editor, Richard Landes, as a professor. His overall knowledge of the subject add depth and credibility to this work. The variety of topics are both individualy examined in depth and linked together well. Good job, Professor Landes!
