Archetype of the Apocalypse

Edward F. Edinger, George R. Elder

From Shelf: @penguinbooks asked "Which non-fiction books are you reading this November?" And Twitter answered.

A study of the collective belief in the end of the world, as described in the biblical book of Revelation. The author argues that this real psychological force is vitally important for our times, and offers a radical alternative to catastrophe through understanding the meaning of these scriptures.

The collective belief in the End of the World, as described in the Biblical Book of Revelation, can be seen in public reaction to terrorist outrages such as those of Sept. 11, in the preoccupation with disasters, in the obsession with UFO's and the possibility of encountering extra-terrestrial life, and in the breakdown of social structures. Edinger argues that this very real psychological force is vitally important for our times, and he offers an alternative to catastrophe through understanding the meaning of these radiant scriptures.
