xiii | Preface
• Enables a more complete appreciation and understanding of the presence of
apocalyptic material in popular culture, literature, and fine arts
• Presents information in a single volume that will serve researchers in public
libraries, community college learning resource centers, and college and uni-
versity libraries
On behalf of everyone who helped see this reference work come into print, I hope
that you, the readers, will find End of Days: An Encyclopedia of the Apocalypse
in World Religions an informative reference work, and one that will stimulate an
interest in eschatology and apocalyptic literature.
