The Third Millennium

by David Walsh

Published 14 September 1999
Dedicated to Pope John Paul II and his recent essay "Fides et Ratio", this book looks at Y2K from the standpoint of Catholic theology. Attempting to cut through the more vapid and hysterical manifestations of millenarianism, Walsh (a scholar whose affiliations are not noted) insists on Christianity as the basis of Western civilization, especially its science and its concept of human rights.
