The Unbelieved and Historians, Part II
Taking a cue from their less‐than‐marginal place in scholarship today, we call supernatural beings the “Unbelieved” and the explicit or implicit denial of them “Dogmatic Secularism.” We argue that objective historians should not discount, in advance, evidence that points to the existence or involvement of the Unbelieved in history; instead, we should cultivate a sceptical attitude towards all sources. In this, the second half of a two‐part essay,…
Transnational Networks and Cross-Religious Exchange in the Seventeenth-Century Mediterranean and Atlantic Worlds
In 1644, the news that Antonio de Montezinos claimed to have discovered the Lost Tribes of Israel in the jungles of South America spread across Europe fuelling an already febrile atmosphere of messianic and millenarian expectation. By tracing the process in which one set of apocalyptic ideas was transmitted across the Christian and Islamic worlds, this book provides fresh insight into the origin and transmission of eschatological constructs, and …
The Unbelieved and Historians, Part I
In 1855, Thakur led a rebellion of the tribal Santals against the British in eastern India. Some historians refused to admit Thakur's involvement in the event because of a three‐century‐old prejudice against giving supernatural beings agency when we write history.

Exploring Periodization in the Classroom
The idea of an ‘early‐modern world’ has come into common use despite historians’ lack of enthusiasm for it as a concept. Possible implications of teleology, eurocentrism, and artificial homogenization not unfairly discourage professional confidence in it. The article describes an undergraduate seminar that takes advantage of the professional uncertainty about early modernity. As they move through a series of thematically organized readings, parti…
