Terrible Revolution - Latter-day Saints and the American Apocalypse

Terrible Revolution is the history of apocalyptic visions in the Mormon experience. Christopher James Blythe follows how "last days" beliefs informed the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints'' relationship with the United States and how the role of lay visionaries in the tradition changed. Blythe''s work draws on hundreds of little-known archival sources to capture, for the first time in scholarship, the 200-year history of Mormon apocalypticism.
