Synopsis

This book provides a captivating account of the author's journey to meet a society of prophets in Avignon, France. The author, a devout Christian, was drawn to this group by their radical beliefs and claims of divine inspiration. The society's teachings blend elements of Christianity, Swedenborgianism, and mysticism, and they believe in the imminent restoration of the Jewish people. The book includes extracts from the group's prophetic writings, offering a glimpse into their beliefs and expectations. The author’s firsthand account not only sheds light on this unique religious movement but also provides insights into the broader context of religious enthusiasm and millenarianism in the late 18th century, an era marked by significant social and political upheaval.
