About This Book

The work surveys the bewildering proliferation of sects in the United States, depicting charismatic revivals, prophetic claims, spiritualist phenomena, communal experiments, and apocalyptic movements as common currents. It situates one peculiar new faith amid this landscape, tracing how a personal revelation narrative and an associated text were organized into a distinctive religious and political community. The account profiles the founder's energetic leadership and tactical skill, describes the movement's synthesis of mystical doctrines with institutional structures, and examines its social organization, doctrinal innovations, and rapid expansion as an American-born religious phenomenon.
