Zusammenfassung:	By some estimates, as many as fifty million Americans believe that the Apocalypse - when God will remake the world, Jesus will return to rule, and only the faithful will survive - is near. In Apocalypse, historian and psychoanalyst Charles B. Strozier offers us a rare and intimate look at some of these millions of Americans living in New York City today For five years, Strozier conducted in-depth interviews from East Harlem to the Upper East Side. Attending prayer breakfasts, Bible studies, and Sunday services, he encountered people like Monroe, the former business entrepreneur who became a missionary to CEOs; Arlene, the former prostitute; Reverend Charles, the dynamic African American preacher; Wilma, the quiet piano player; and Mary, the trained opera singer, among many others Whatever their race, gender, or class, all of these New York believers share the expectation that human history as we know it is nearing its end
