BIBLIOGRAPHY

On the biblical background of the idea, see R. H. Charles,
Eschatology (1899; reprint New York, 1963); F. E. Hamilton,
The Basis of Millennial Faith (Grand Rapids, 1942); and H.
Schoeps, Theologie und Geschichte des Judenschristentums
(Tübingen, 1949). On medieval millenarianism: N. Cohn,
The Pursuit of the Millennium (Fairlawn, N.J., 1957). On
post-Reformation aspects of the history of the idea, see E.
Tuveson; Millennium and Utopia (Berkeley, 1949) and idem,
Redeemer Nation, The Idea of America's Millennial Role
(Chicago, 1968). For social implications of ideas originating
from millenarianism, see Millennial Dreams in Action, ed.
Sylvia Thrupp (The Hague, 1962). On the transformations
of the idea among non-Western peoples, see V. Lanternari,
The Religions of the Oppressed, A Study of Modern Messianic
Cults
(New York, 1963). Most of these works contain exten-
sive bibliographies of the vast literature on the subject.
