5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book on a wide variety of millennialist movements,
By Jack D. Eller "Anthropologist, Author, and Ra... (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Millennialism, Persecution, and Violence: Historical Cases (Religion and Politics) (Paperback)
I have read many books on this subject, especially recently as I prepare to assemble a book on the broader topic of religion and violence. This is one of the best on this sub-phenomenon of millennialism and violence. It has some very helpful theoretical/conceptual discussions by some of the big names in the field, along with a large number of manageable case studies, spanning much of recent history. The obvious ones are there--Branch Davidians, Aum Shinrikyo, Peoples Temple--as well as some less likely topics like Nazism and Russian Old Believers. For compact discussions of a wide array of movements set in a good organizational and analytical framework, this is an excellent offering.
