Dr Lorenzo Ferrari has written, in Italian, a cultural biography of Cohn, Norman Cohn e il lato oscuro della Storia ('Norman Cohn and the Dark Side of History'), in which he reconstructs Cohn’s human and intellectual journey. Dr Ferrari discusses the cultural context in which Cohn's reflections on “political psychopathology” developed, and the influence that they have exerted on many intellectuals of our time.
Dr Ferrari has also compiled a complete bibliography of Cohn's work.
Dr Mario Baghos (Nuancing the ‘Millennium’ in the writings of
Norman Cohn) says that Cohn's approach to medieval and modern apocalyptic movements is valid and important, but argues that Cohn misrepresents the apocalyptic expectations of
early Christians and their Jewish contemporaries.
Starting from Cohn's "benchmark definition of millenialism", Dr Bernard Doherty (A deadly pursuit? Dangerous ideas at the end of history) discusses how millennialist beliefs may intersect with the five belief domains identified by psychologists Judy and Roy Eidelson - also known as the 'dangerous ideas' framework - in potentially harmful ways.
