On March 23, 2010,\u00a0Paul Harvey posted a call for papers<\/a>\u00a0for a conference at Rice\u00a0University on \u201cMillennialism\u00a0and Providentialism\u00a0in the Era of the American Civil War.\u201d The papers presented at the conference that October formed the basis for an anthology titled\u00a0Apocalypse and the Millennium in the American Civil War Era<\/a>,\u00a0<\/i>set to be\u00a0published this November by LSU Press.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I\u2019d imagine that this collection will be of great interest to many RiAH readers.\u00a0The roster of contributors is fantastic (names below), and not just because it includes the ubiquitous Ed Blum.\u00a0There are a wide range of subjects through which the themes of apocalypse and millennium are analyzed, ranging from African American Baptists to Spiritualists to James Fenimore Cooper\u2019s\u00a0The Crater<\/i>\u00a0to the aftermath of the U.S.-Dakota War.\u00a0\u00a0As Mark Noll writes in the foreword, the essays are especially helpful in illustrating \u201cthe wide scope of providential belief and the great diversity in applying that belief,\u201d during the Civil War Era. According to Noll, this is a work that both benefits from the recent surge in religious studies of the Civil War and also \u201cpropels that advance with its own substantial contribution.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
In case Noll\u2019s endorsement and the mere presence of Blum do not convince you to check out the volume, I asked the editors (Ben Wright and Zach Dresser) to briefly discuss the book. Both Wright and Dresser were doctoral students at Rice when they organized the project. Dresser received his PhD earlier this year, and is now a visiting assistant professor at Virginia Tech. Wright is wrapping up his dissertation this fall, but not before he ensures that his CV makes all other graduate student CVs wholly inadequate in comparison. More on that below.<\/span><\/div>\n
