Times Higher Education, 20/12/2012, Chris Parr
“Sarah Harvey, research officer at the London School of Economics' Information Network Focus on Religious Movements (Inform), is co-editor of Prophecy in the New Millennium: When Prophecies Persist, a book to be published in April 2013 (assuming we still exist).
