The Manifesto was the official periodical of the Shakers, the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, and its pages record the life of that celibate, communal, millenarian Christian society in the closing decades of the nineteenth century. Readers find society testimonies and meeting notices, reflections on shared labor and the land, and a distinctive theology centered on the second appearing of Christ and the perfectionist community as a foretaste of the millennium. The paper also carries the residue of the Shakers' famous 'Era of Manifestations,' when spirit messages and mediumistic phenomena moved through the villages, giving it a real if secondary connection to spiritualism. Within an esoteric taxonomy it registers most strongly as communal/utopian living and prophetic-millenarian religion. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
