Approaching the Millennium

Abstract

"My title, of course, is a play on two meanings of 'millennium': the millennium as the year 2000, the beginning of the third millennium of the Christian era, and the millennium as a term in Christian eschatology, the thousand-year reign of Christ on earth. The two meanings come together in the kind of epochal (millenarian) significance with which the approaching turn of the millennia is being viewed by many people, Christians and others"
