Millennium Knickerbocker

Finally, amid all the hoopla and encroaching hysteria, here is the book that anyone interested in the true meaning of the millennium simply must read. A widely recognized New Testament scholar, writing on the biggest story of our time, provides the first work that: -- Gives a clear explanation of how the turn of the millennium has been misunderstood and miscalculated. -- Shows why the widespread "apocalyptic take" on the millennium is in error. -- Exposes what drives millennium fever in the first place. -- Offers a provocative way for us to celebrate the millennium authentically and with integrity. In this timeliest of books Dr. N. T. Wright argues that getting ready for the millennium does not mean getting ready for the end of the world as we know it. Instead, he points out that celebrating the new millennium means challenging our prevailing cultural story and symbols -- in the very same way as the calendar we follow was designed to do in its day. Wright shows that the millennium hype is masking a deeper problem in our culture -- questions concerning what he calls "postmodernity" -- and then, by following some ancient words on hope, outlines a practical way forward for creating a better world.

In this new edition of Questioning the Millennium, best-selling author Stephen Jay Gould applies his wit and erudition to one of today's most pressing subjects: the significance of the millennium. In 1950 at age eight, prompted by an issue of Life magazine marking the century's midpoint, Stephen Jay Gould started thinking about the approaching turn of the millennium. In this beautiful inquiry into time and its milestones, he shares his interest and insights with his readers. Refreshingly reasoned and absorbing, the book asks and answers the three major questions that define the approaching calendrical event. First, what exactly is this concept of a millennium and how has its meaning shifted? How did the name for a future thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ on earth get transferred to the passage of a secular period of a thousand years in current human history? When does the new millennium really begin: January 1, 2000, or January 1, 2001? (Although seemingly trivial, the debate over this issue tells an intriguing story about the cultural history of the twentieth century.) And why must our calendars be so complex, leading to our search for arbitrary regularity, including a fascination with millennia? This revised edition begins with a new and extensive preface on a key subject not treated in the original version. As always, Gould brings into his essays a wide range of compelling historical and scientific fact, including a brief history of millennial fevers, calendrical traditions, and idiosyncrasies from around the world; the story of a sixth-century monk whose errors in chronology plague us even today; and the heroism of a young autistic man who has developed the extraordinaryability to calculate dates deep into the past and the future.
