Little -- Notes on Contributors -- Index. 330 $aNeither the meliorist political culture of the nascent American republic nor its later drift toward apocalyptically tinged 'fundamentalist' Protestantism and dispensationalism can be explained outside the context of the shared Anglo-American traditions and practices of millennial expectation and apocalyptic angst--whether expressed by early colonists, Milton, Blake, Miller or the Continental Congress. In this chronologically direct and thematically varied volume, five scholars working in three distinct disciplines (Religion, English literature, and History) approach millennialism and apocalypticism in the British and Anglo-American contexts, making remarkable contributions both to the study of religious, literary and political culture in the English-speaking ecumene, and, at least implicitly, to the critique of disciplinary exclusivity. Only in such mixed company does the study of the millennial nexus in English and American religion, culture, literature and politics, from the time of Milton to the time of the Millerites, come into focus. Contributors include: Richard Connors, Andrew Escobedo, Andrew C. Gow, J.I. Little, Stephen A. Marini, Beth Quitslund, and John Howard Smith. 410 0$aStudies in the history of Christian thought ;$vv. 113. 606 $aMillennialism$zEngland$xHistory of doctrines$y17th century 606 $aMillennialism$zUnited States$xHistory of doctrines$y17th century 606 $aMillennialism$zUnited States$xHistory of doctrines$y18th century 606 $aMillerite movement$zQuebec (Province)$zEastern Townships$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aMillennialism$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aMillennialism$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aMillennialism$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aMillerite movement$xHistory 676 $a236/.9 701 $aConnors$b Richard$f1964-$01751136 701 $aGow$b Andrew Colin$01604273 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820552003321 996 $aAnglo-American millennialism, from Milton to the Millerites$94185973 997 $aUNINA
