It's the Eind of the World as We Know It..."

Or is it? Will the year 2000 witness the fulfillment of this musical prophecy? As Y2K doomsdayers predict the worldwide crash of computer systems, books such as The Bible Code and The Doomsday Code compete in the battle of the best-sellers, and Hollywood offers its own brand of apocalyptic doom in films such as Armageddon, it is clear that millennial madness is upon us.

But what are we to believe about the new millennium? Are we to enter the future with fear? The Bible predicts that an end is coming-sometime. How certain we can be of all the details and the timetables may be another matter. In The New Millennium Manual the authors offer a popular guide to the issues, people, and movements relevant to the coming Big Calendar Turn. Concerned with the competing visions that litter the current eschatological landscape, they survey church history, theology, and contemporary culture to put the present and the future- in perspective. Loaded with illustrations- classic and contemporary art, historical photographs, charts and diagrams, and comic strips this balanced book will inform and assure you as you enter the new millennium.
