A somewhat morbid, but interesting conference topic, as we approach The End of The Second Millenium....I merely note that my church Bible Study group has recently finished its second reading of Revelation in the last decade, so the eschatalogical imagination is alive and well in the late twentieth century as well. To be more on topic, REED-Lers in the greater New York area should be advised that the obligatory conference entertainment is a performance of the "Wakefield" Last Judgement. A.
