From millenarists to Antichrist hunters, from the Sibyls to the Hussites, Visions of the End is a monumental compendium spanning the literature of the Christian apocalyptic tradition from the period A.D. 400 to 1500, masterfully selected and complete with a comprehensive introduction and new preface. "This textual history, with its selection of many original sources that appear in translation for the first time, is very likely to become the standard introduction to Christian apocalypticism." -- "Library Journal" Bernard McGinn is Naomi Shenstone Donnelley Professor of Historical Theology and History of Christianity at the University of Chicago.
