Millennial Fever and the End of the World

George R. Knight’s book examines the social, religious, and theological factors that fueled millennial expectations in early nineteenth-century America, focusing on William Miller and his followers. It explores how the widespread anticipation of Christ’s return culminated in the Great Disappointment of 1844, and how this event gave rise to new religious movements, including Seventh-day Adventism. Knight provides both historical context and critical analysis, making the book a significant contribution to the understanding of apocalyptic movements and their enduring influence.
