Jesus, Apocalyptic Prophet of the New Millennium - Ehrman, Bart D. (Associate Professor, Department of Religious Studies, Associate Professor, Department of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina)

Argues that Jesus, like many of his later followers, proclaimed that God was soon to intervene in human affairs and bring all of history to a screeching halt. Through a careful evaluation of the New Testament Gospels and other sources, the author shows why Jesus should be understood as an apocalyptic prophet.
