Millennium Myth, The : hope for a postmodern world

---

Outline: Here is a riveting book for anyone interested in what is really driving millennium fever. A classical historian, writing on one of the biggest stories of our time, provides the first work that:
- Gives a clear explanation of how the turn of the millenium has been misunderstood pand miscalculated.
- Shows why the widespread "apocalyptic take" on the millenium is in error.
- Offers a provocative way to celebrate the millennium authentically and with integrity.
This book is a tract for the times, the author argues that getting ready for the millennium does not mean getting ready for the end of the world as we know it. Instead, the author 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. The author shows that the millenniu hype is masking a deeper problem in our culture - issues concerning what he calls a deeper problem in our culture - issues concerning what he calls "postmodernity" - and then, by reviving some ancient words on hope, outlines a practical way forward for creating a better world.
