Audible.com's editors have created 12 college courses and required reading for the courses. Course #6 is Apocalypse Later: A Study of Millennialism.

Audible.com editor Sam P.: "When I first found this course my junior year, I admit I had no idea what “millennialism� was. Turns out, the term referred to the Christian belief in the 1000 years of peace to come before the end of the world. The course touched on the big religions, but even more interestingly, it delved into doomsday cults, as well as secular movements such as Y2K, and compared their beliefs in utopias and the apocalypse. I ended up writing my final paper on the Jonestown massacre. Sure, it wasn’t always the most uplifting subject matter, but always a completely fascinating glimpse into an often dismissed topic."

A Thousand Lives: The Untold Story of Hope, Deception, and Survival at Jonestown by Julia Scheeres
