Catherine Wessinger, the Reverend H. James Yamauchi, S.J. Professor of the History of Religions at Loyola University New Orleans has multiple publishing projects in progress:

Her A Journey to Waco: Autobiography of a Branch Davidian, by Clive Doyle with Catherine Wessinger and Matthew D. Wittmer is being published this month by Rowman & Littlefield.

She also received a contract from New York University Press to edit a series of short books on women in religions: She has already begun work on her own volume in the series which will be titled Theory of Women in Religions and will soon begin receiving the first drafts of manuscripts by other authors. This project will occupy several years.

Wessinger's essay on "Apocalypse and Violence" has been accepted by John J. Collins, editor of The Oxford Handbook of Apocalyptic Literature.

A second edition of How the Millennium Comes Violently is also in the works with Wessinger extensively revising the Jonestown  and introductory chapters, as well as including new research from primary FBI documents relating to the Branch Davidians case. The second edition will be subtitled "From Jonestown to Falun Gong."

Finally, Wessinger continues her editorial work on Nova Religio: Journal of Alternative and Emergent Religions with Volume 16, No. 1 printing in August 2012. For more information, see http://www.novareligio.org
