Summary
Doomsday Diaries: A Journey Through Apocalyptic Visions
Most people’s concept of the ‘end of the world’ comes from the book of Revelation. Alternative apocalypses can be found in the Zoroastrianism of ancient Persia, in ancient Hindu scriptures and Norse myths. Today, there are an estimated 25 million Christian fundamentalists in the US who believe it will come with the ‘Rapture’; others point to an ecological catastrophe, the AIDS pandemic or nuclear and biological warfare.
