Synopsis

This book provides a rare and fascinating insight into the lives and beliefs of an extraordinary group of 17th century spiritualists known as the Muggletonians. Founded by Ludowick Muggleton and John Reeve in the wake of the English Civil War, the Muggletonians stood apart from other spiritual movements of the time by claiming to be the final two witnesses of God's spirit. This book presents a unique collection of the group's writings, including letters, epistles, prophecies, and personal accounts, revealing their beliefs, practices, and the challenges they faced as a persecuted religious minority. The texts showcase the Muggletonians' distinctive approach to religion and their profound faith in the transformative power of spiritual revelation. Through their writings, the reader gains a deep understanding of this enigmatic group and their insights into the nature of salvation, the human condition, and the ultimate fate of the soul.
