Apocalypse
The paper introduces students to anthropological and other social scientific

contemporary ethnographic case studies while taking a long view of historical events, it
examines the ancient roots of millennialism, its foundational texts, its charismatic
leaders and prophets, and its (ostensibly) secular expressions.
