Moorhead offers some brilliant observations about the legacy of postmillennialism and the human need for a definitive eschaton.\" —Publishers Weekly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 19th century American Protestants firmly believed that when progress had run its course, there would be a Second Coming of Christ, the world would come to a supernatural End, and the predictions in the Apocalypse would come to pass. During the years covered in James Moorhead’s study, however, moderate and liberal mainstream Protestants transformed this postmillennialism into a hope that this world would be the scene for limitless spiritual improvement and temporal progress.
