Waiting for Antichrist

Damian Thompson looks at the members of one religious group with a strong apocalyptic tradition, Kensington Temple, a large Pentecostal church in London, and attempts to understand how they reconcile doctrines of the end of the world with the demands of their everyday lives.

First sentence: How can people believe that the supernatural end of the world lies just around the corner when, so far, every such prediction has been proved wrong?
