The Oxford Handbook of Millennialism edited by Catherine Wessinger. "An in-depth look at both the theoretical underpinnings of the study of millennialism and its many manifestations across history and cultures."
"The Department of Studies in Religion at the University of Sydney was invited to open a third branch for the Centre for Millennial Studies (the first of which was initiated by Professor Richard Landes at Boston University, USA in 1999), with an ‘open brief’ that reflected the various interests of its Director, Professor Garry W. Trompf. The third branch was at first focused on the sociology and cross-cultural study of millenarian hopes (particularly in Melanesia, where Trompf concentrates much of his research) and on the controversy surrounding the so-called 2YK “bug.” Over time, the scope of research broadened and changed, so that the third branch, having fulfilled its function at the University of Sydney, was eventually closed. The Institute for Millennial and Apocalyptic Studies (IMAS) represents an exciting new chapter in millennial and apocalyptic research overseen by Professor Trompf, whose vision encompasses all that takes in the idea of a new millennium in general, so that work on apocalyptic-type issues (whether historical or contemporary) now sits alongside research into the idea of a ‘new Era of remarkable possibilities.’ Indeed, IMAS covers the broad sweep of millennial and apocalyptic expectation and experience, from ancient religions such as Zoroastrianism, intertestamental Judaism, early Christianity and Gnosticism, to medieval millennialism, apocalypticism, and eschatology, and to contemporary religious, secular, ecological and technological trends."
