Requests:  0 Summary:  Shares information on messianic prophets in United States history, including Cyrus Teed, Father Divine, and Jim Jones. "Mania surrounding messianic prophets has defined the national consciousness since the American Revolution. From Civil War veteran and virulent anticapitalist Cyrus Teed, to the dapper and overlooked civil rights pioneer Father Divine, to even the megalomaniacal Jim Jones, these figures have routinely been dismissed as dangerous and hysterical outliers. After years of studying these emblematic figures, Adam Morris demonstrates that messiahs are not just a classic trope of our national culture; their visions are essential for understanding American history." -- Publisher's description   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 206.10973 Mo missing from shelf Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 206.10973 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
