A Voice from Zion collects the sermons and addresses of John Alexander Dowie, General Overseer of the Christian Catholic Church, printed at his own Zion Printing and Publishing House in Chicago between 1897 and 1901, in the years when he was building the theocratic city of Zion on the Illinois shore of Lake Michigan. Its doctrine is divine healing: sickness understood as the work of the devil, physicians and medicines rejected, and health restored through prayer and the laying on of hands, set within a restorationist claim that the apostolic authority of the early church had been given again. Much of the preaching is denunciation, and its targets are worth knowing because they explain the vocabulary of the volumes: the secret societies and Freemasonry above all, the named infidels of the freethought platform, the Spiritualists, and Mary Baker Eddy's Christian Science, which Dowie attacked with particular energy as a false rival in the business of healing. The volumes are a primary source for the Dowieite movement, and should be read beside its weekly, Leaves of Healing. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
