The Centre for the Critical Study of Apocalyptic and Millenarian Movements (CenSAMM) was established to promote high quality critical and academic research into apocalyptic and millenarian movements across time, place and culture.
CenSAMM was established by Panacea Charitable Trust trustees, Dr Naomi Hilton (University of Cambridge and Victoria University of Wellington), Dr Justin Meggitt (Cambridge University Senior Lecturer in the Critical Study of Religion), and Prof Christopher Rowland (formerly University of Oxford Dean Ireland’s Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture). Their vision was to establish “a world centre of excellence in the critical study of apocalyptic and millenarian movements and aid the public understanding of the legacies and future possibilities of these crucial, creative and often misunderstood forms of human culture”
