Bonus Sample: The Prophet & the Electrical Storm
Manage episode 426541762 series 2763687
What does it really mean to be a prophet, found a religion, and persuade millions of people that god speaks directly to you?
And what does this god tell you? How to live morally. What kinds of sex are forbidden. How to avoid death and live forever. When the end of the world is coming, and which messiah will bring it.
In this latest installment on the history of the intersection of spirituality and pseudoscience, Julian looks at the story of a prophet named Ellen G. White and what she may have in common with historical figures as diverse as Gopi Krishna, Dostoevsky, and Joan of Arc.
