Of course, we're all deeply disappointed that the World has not ended. I'm interested in that.

Ever since reading & being most impressed with _When Prophesy Ends_ in the 60's, I've been looking forward to the millennium. The book dealt with the psychological & psycho-sociological effects on cults when their "End-of-the- World prophesy failed to come about. Just how do humans deal with such a devastating blow the next day - sure, the night before, that the world was over. I was sure that apocalyptic millennialism would be fascinating to see at year 2000. I've been waiting the results & studies all this while.

I was so happy to start hearing of the Y2k hysteria and how far people were prepared to go for what was, at the heart, Christian millennialism gone public.

Anyway, I'm asking any academic types and/or any "in the loop" (I'm in Orlando) to please advise me when the serious academic papers & books, dealing not with banks or people buying a few batteries but with those that were sure disaster _could not_ be averted by any human means.

I expect it will be some months before they begin to appear, if they're serious studies, but will any that happen across such please advise me?

Thank you very much.
