Download or read book Prophecy and the Politics of Salvation in Late Georgian England written by Matthew Niblett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joanna Southcott (1750 – 1814) remains one of the most significant and extraordinary religious figures of her era. In an age of reason and enlightenment, her apocalyptic prophecies attracted tens of thousands of followers, and she captured international attention with her promise to bear a divine child. In this new intellectual biography Matthew Niblett unravels Southcott's writings, her context and her message to demonstrate why the prophetess was such a magnetic figure and to highlight the significance of her role in British religious history. Using a wide range of contemporary sources, this revealing study explains the formation of Southcott's apocalyptic theology, her treatment of the Bible, her relation with the Church, the network of clerical supporters she used and the striking originality of her message. In so doing, this book shines fresh light on religion and the politics of salvation in late Georgian England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The age of revolution, in which kings were dethroned, radical ideals of human equality embraced, and new constitutions written, was also the age of prophecy. Neither an archaic remnant nor a novel practice, prophecy in the eighteenth century was rooted both in the primitive worldview of the Old Testament and in the vibrant intellectual environment of the philosophers and their political allies, the republicans. In Doomsayers: Anglo-American Prophecy in the Age of Revolution, Susan Juster examines the culture of prophecy in Great Britain and the United States from 1765 to 1815 side by side with the intellectual and political transformations that gave the period its historical distinction as the era of enlightened rationalism and democratic revolution. Although sometimes viewed as madmen or fools, prophets of the 1790s and early 1800s were very much products of a liberal commercial society, even while they registered their disapproval of the values and practices of that society and fought a determined campaign to return Protestant Anglo-America to its biblical moorings. They enjoyed greater visibility than their counterparts of earlier eras, thanks to the creation of a vigorous new public sphere of coffeehouses, newspapers, corresponding societies, voluntary associations, and penny pamphlets. Prophecy was no longer just the art of applying biblical passages to contemporary events; it was now the business of selling both terror and reassurance to eager buyers. Tracking the careers of several hundred men and women in Britain and North America, most of ordinary background, who preached a message of primitive justice that jarred against the cosmopolitan sensibilities of their audiences, Doomsayers explores how prophetic claims were formulated, challenged, tested, advanced, and abandoned. The stories of these doomsayers, whose colorful careers entertained and annoyed readers across the political spectrum, challenge the notion that religious faith and the Enlightenment represented fundamentally alien ways of living in and with the world. From the debates over religious enthusiasm staged by churchmen and the literati to the earnest offerings of ordinary men and women to speak to and for God, Doomsayers shows that the contest between prophets and their critics for the allegiance of the Anglo-American reading public was part of a broader recalibration of the norms and values of civic discourse in the age of revolution.

Download or read book Joanna Southcott written by Frances Brown and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun..." Revelation 12, 1 Press advertisements over several decades calling for the opening of 'Joanna Southcott's Box' have made her name familiar to the public, but little more is widely known about her. This new biography of the Devon-born visionary and prophet uses previously unidentified sources to give the definitive account of her life, her writings and her influence. Born in 1750 to a Devon farmer, and growing through a rural childhood unexceptional for the time, Joanna Southcott's life was changed in 1792 when she heard the 'still, small Voice' that was to inform and guide her for the next 20 years. Her claims that it was the word of God speaking through her were rejected by church leaders, yet her prophesies of the Second Coming and her 'sealing' of believers against harm gave her many followers. Some of her writings, she was told by her inner voice, were to be kept secret and only revealed when requested by the 24 Church of England Bishops at a time of great danger - hence the existence of the famous Box. Frances Brown has researched not only in Joanna's 65 published works and unpublished manuscripts, but also among letters, newspapers, guildhall and parish records, local histories and genealogies, and even trade directories. She identifies many of the previously elusive people, places and events associated with Joanna's life. Central to Joanna Southcott's writings is the fight between good and evil in the world which, as in the Revelation of St. John, is to culminate in a terrible battle leading to a great victory for Christ over the Devil. Interest in such prophesies has increased with heightened fears of expanded potential for disasters in the new Millennium. This book will serve a need felt by many to know more about the woman who is numbered among the most influential of modern English visionaries. Among other illustrations is the first photograph of Joanna Southcott's box to be published in 140 years. Download the Contents and Introduction here (PDF, 60 KB).
