Drawing on a wide range of historical sources, Cohn explores the deep-rooted human longing for a transformed world—one in which justice, equality, and divine order would be established on earth. The book situates these movements within the broader context of Judeo-Christian apocalyptic thought, tracing how millenarian expectations evolved and took hold among ordinary people during periods of social upheaval.\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n   \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n   Cohn brings to life a series of dramatic and often unsettling episodes, from the fervour of the Crusading era to the radical uprisings of groups such as the flagellants, the Brethren of the Free Spirit, and the Anabaptists. He examines charismatic leaders and prophetic figures—including Thomas Müntzer and the so-called \"Drummer of Niklashausen\"—who inspired mass followings with visions of imminent salvation and earthly paradise. Through these vivid case studies, the book reveals how religious belief could ignite powerful social movements, often challenging established authority and reshaping the course of history.\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n   \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  Beyond its historical narrative, The Pursuit of the Millennium offers a compelling reflection on the enduring appeal—and potential danger—of utopian thinking. Cohn draws striking parallels between medieval millenarianism and modern ideological movements, suggesting that the same psychological and social forces continue to drive collective visions of redemption. Scholarly yet highly readable, this influential work remains essential for anyone interested in medieval history, religious movements, and the origins of revolutionary thought.\"\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n  \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" rwr=\"1\" size=\"4\" style=\"\"\u003e\n   \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n     \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n       Dustjackets are clipped with only light wear only.
