Excellent brief account of how the year dot was fixed by Dennis the insignificant with a quick outline of how modernity and pot-modernism have had their effect on society and on Christian belief together with a clear practical application, free Third world debt. And I believe real help to poor countries did come about through the Jubilee campaign. ( )

Although dated in terms of being an answer to millennium expectations this book is still useful for its interaction with contemporary culture. Wright begins by putting millennium hype into context but quickly moves to responding to postmodernism. He concludes with a chapter promoting the Jubilee 2000 movement which sought to have richer countries forgive the debts of impoverished nations. ( )
