Have you hit the millennium site on Netscape? Try
http://www.mille.org/ -There's a GOOD bibliog. on it, entitled
"Apocalyptic and millennial bibliog." I have it printed out here, and it
has lots of good stuff. I esp. recomm. McGinn's stuff, Landes' stuff and
one on contemporary US by Paul Boyer, "When time shall be no more". Pardon
