Apocalyptic Conspiracism

"A new study of American evangelicalism that shows how the logic of Apocalypticism and counter-cultural arguments feed into climate denial and anti-Covid viewpoints. It considers how apocalyptic and conspiracist truth claims thrive across transnational networks of digital spaces and Improves the understanding of religious, apocalyptic, and conspiracist belief systems which affect geopolitical imaginations, the perception of global crises, as well as the environmentally relevant behaviour of millions of American evangelical Christians"--
