SidneyThis is a well researched and written book on the history and role of pre-millennial theology in the formation of "evangelical" Christianity in America. As far as I can see; it is balanced with no obvious bias one way or the other. The book gives good insight into the longer history of the so-called culture wars. I have been teaching an adult Sunday school class on Revelation for about a year and the book has given me more of a sense of context (especially American Protestant following the various "revivals") and how that influences readings of Revelation.5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. The history of a religious movement in America that has its effects today.By Lewis T. FitchBased on what is a series of mis-interpretations of the Book of Revelations in the bible; a certainty as to the exact nature of future events has been sold to the credible in America for over a century. Some of the major figures in this process are detailed here. The certainty that the literal battle of Armageddon will occur within the next year or so can not help but influence a person's decisions.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
