Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Pietists, Methodists and sectarian groups like the Shakers all shared the conviction that God touched the individual directly and visibly. Manifestations of spirit possession, accompanied by prophecy, visions and ecstatic seizures became outward signs of an inner experience, a kind of sacred theatre as believers acted out their possession before others. This is an account of the Shakers, tracing their origins back to the Camisards of southeastern France, an ecstatic Protestant group whose doomed rebellion against Louis XIV led to their dispersal among Huguenot exiles. The book then shows how a dozen English ecstatics, who in their native Manchester were known as "Shakers", brought Huguenot spirit possession to America in 1774. The Shakers emerge as the culmination of the century's religious quest, preserving the immediacy of spirit possession while making it the basis for the formation of an ideal Christian community.
