 | Cosmos, Chaos, & the World to Come by Norman Cohn
Cohn explores the origins of the central conviction common to all apocalyptic beliefs--that the future will bring a final struggle between the forces of good and evil that will bring an end to conflict and allow the establishment of a new era of peace, prosperity, and happiness on earth. The author displays his usual mastery of the material and the almost magisterial command of both the historical period and the relevant phenomena that has earned Cohn his much deserved reputation.
