Lecture: The End of the World--Again?

The End of the World—Again?: Putting "The End of the World" In Perspective

Why did so many millions of people believe Harold Camping’s wild vision of a May 21 world-wide earthquake ushering in the Day of Judgment and the end of the world (due last September 21)? What’s behind the hype about the Mayan Calendar’s alleged “end” in 2012? Polls indicate that 4 out of 10 Americans—including many in Congress—believe Jesus will return before mid-century and that we are in “the last days.”

You’ll learn much in this in-depth exploration of the reasons behind such “end-time” fervor, as Bob and Michael share their own early experience among end-time believers and discuss the spiritual and psychological dimensions of this highly apocalyptic mind-set that pervades both our culture and our politics.

Insructors: Michael Christensen and Robert Corin Morris
