Elder\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Open Court Publishing Co ,U.S., United States\nImprint: Open Court Publishing Co ,U.S.\nISBN-13: 9780812695168, 978-0812695168\nSynopsis\nThe 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.
