John Alexander Dowie And The Christian Apostolic Church In Zion (1906)

""John Alexander Dowie and the Christian Apostolic Church in Zion"" is a historical account of the life and work of John Alexander Dowie, a Scottish evangelist who founded the Christian Catholic Church and later the Christian Apostolic Church in Zion, Illinois in the late 19th century. The book, written by Rolvix Harlan and published in 1906, chronicles Dowie's early years in Australia, his rise to prominence as a faith healer and preacher, and his eventual move to the United States where he established his religious community in Zion. Harlan details Dowie's controversial teachings, including his belief in divine healing and his opposition to modern medicine, as well as his efforts to create a self-sufficient community in Zion that would serve as a model for Christian living. The book provides a fascinating look at one of the most influential religious figures of his time and sheds light on the unique religious movement he created in Zion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
