Lee Quinby's delightful book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the meaning of the millennium. Quinby writes as a rationalist who is worried about the tendency toward oppression and violence among those who embrace millenarian concerns. Hers is an informed voice of reason and humanity.

Ranging widely over America's 'apocalyptic culture,' Lee Quinby explores how absolutist moral claims, intensified by a millennialist worldview, influence our view of sexuality and gender, our pedagogical debates, and our varied discourses as a society. This intensely personal work critiques the apocalyptic mindset from a skeptical and feminist vantage point. Millennial Seduction is a forceful polemic by a perceptive reader of texts who is also a close observer of contemporary culture, from Broadway to the Internet.
