Synopsis
The Making of Matthias is a historical non-fiction book written by Joseph Smith Fletcher and first published in 1897. The book chronicles the life and deeds of Matthias, a self-proclaimed prophet who gained a following in New York City during the 1830s. Matthias claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and convinced many people to join his cult-like group, which he called the Kingdom of God. Fletcher's book delves into the psychological and societal factors that led to Matthias' rise to power and the eventual downfall of his cult. The author also explores the impact of Matthias' teachings on his followers, many of whom were women, and the ways in which he manipulated and controlled them. The Making of Matthias is a fascinating look at a little-known chapter of American history and a cautionary tale about the dangers of charismatic leaders and blind faith. Fletcher's writing is engaging and well-researched, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of Matthias' life and legacy. This book is recommended for anyone interested in the history of American religion, cults, or the psychology of group dynamics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
