This book unquestionably sheds additional light on several aspects of millenarianism in the second half of the eighteenth century. * Thierry Zarcone, Aries - Journal for the Study of Western Esotericism 24 * In Initiating the Millennium, Robert Collis and Natalie Bayer fill a substantial lacuna in the study of an initiatic society-known variously as the Illuminés d'Avignon, the Avignon Society, the New Israel Society, and the Union-that flourished across Europe between 1779 and 1807. Based on hitherto neglected archival material, this study provides a wealth of fresh insights into a group that included members of various Christian confessions from countries spanning the length and breadth of the Continent. * Andrew Crome, Reading Religion *
