End Time Visions: The Road to Armageddon? by Richard Abanes

End Time Visions: The Road to Armageddon? Reviews

• 
  Timothy Maples

  An excellent overview (published in 1998) of many prominant groups and teachers that focus on end-of-the-world scenarios as their reason for being. The book includes recent doomsday cults (Branch Davidians, Heaven's Gate, etc.), right-wing militia groups, old school sects such as the Jehovah's Witnesses, and well-known religious end-time "prophecy" experts. Highlights include sections that destroy the Nostadamus myth, show how false teachers have changed their predictions as they are proven wrong (often without mentioning the fact to their followers), and explain how natural disasters have not recently increased in frequency or intensity, as per most of the groups. Highly recommended.
