Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 1844, tens of thousands of Americans sold their farms, gave away their life savings, and gathered on hillsides waiting for the end of the world. Preacher William Miller had mathematically calculated that Jesus Christ would return on October 22. Wh…en the sun rose on October 23, the followers were left destitute, humiliated, and utterly broken.This devastating event became known as the Great Disappointment. But instead of the movement collapsing, human psychology took over. Faced with unbearable cognitive dissonance, a small faction refused to admit they were wrong. They simply claimed the event happened in heaven rather than on Earth, inadvertently laying the unbreakable foundation for the Seventh-day Adventist Church.This historical narrative explores the fascinating intersection of religious hysteria and sociological resilience. It breaks down how intense public humiliation forged a minor splinter group into a globally dominant, multi-million-member denomination.Witness the power of a failed prophecy. Discover how extreme cognitive dissonance can turn the greatest mistake in history into an unstoppable organizational empire.
