Millennial movements do not always go boom and bust. As innovative responses to worlds in crisis or projections of possibilities for a world in the doldrums, millennialism has been a prime mover for many an artistic and scientific vision of the world reconfigured. Flourishing well beyond the life of any prophet, bearing fruit well beyond the waning of any redemptive scheme, these visions merit a history of their own. The End that Does tracks the interplay of the arts, the sciences, and millennial imagination across 3000 years of surprising conclusions.

'Millennialism and Society is a publishing project that is as bold as it is admirable. It combines a meticulous scholarly approach with ethical and political awareness. In a world haunted and endangered by apocalyptic visions of every kind, this series will surely contribute to a better sense of what we face and who we are.'
