Questioning the Millennium A Rationalist's Guide to a Precisely Arbitrary Countdown Revised Edition
Author: Stephen Jay Gould
Gould addresses three questions about the millennium with his typical erudition, warmth, and whimsy: What is the concept of a millennium and how has its meaning shifted over time? How did the projection of Christ?s 1,000-year reign become a secular measure? And when exactly does the millennium begin?January 1, 2000, or January 2, 2001?
