I am a researcher and author in the academic study of religion, with expertise in apocalyptic (end of the world) thinking and the psychology of religion.

I am based at the University of Cambridge, where I am a member of the Faculty of Divinity, a Fellow of Churchill College, and editor of the Critical Dictionary of Apocalyptic and Millenarian Movements.
