Apocalyptic TrajectoriesAuthor :
Paperback
Published : Wednesday 13 October 2004
Description
This book aims to examine several religious groups holding millenarian or apocalyptic ideologies that have been involved in violent incidents over the last twenty-five years: Peoples Temple, The Branch Davidians, The Order of the Solar Temple, Heavens Gate, Aum Shinrikyo, and the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God. The work focuses particularly on their respective `apocalyptic trajectories - the key recurring issues and social processes that fostered the progressive acceptance of violence within each groups ideology, and ultimately helped to precipitate the use of force against the groups own members or against outsiders.
