1862 - Jane Leade's Mystical Spiritual Alarm
Jane Leade (1624-1704) was an important 17th-century English Christian mystic and writer. Definitely one of the most extraordinary mystics and writers of the era. She is renowned for her prolific writings detailing her spiritual visions and revelations, which significantly influenced the foundation and philosophy of the Philadelphian Society. A follower of the German mystic Jakob Böhme, Leade emphasized the divine feminine, particularly through the concept of the Virgin Sophia, an embodiment of divine wisdom. Her emphasis on universal restoration, the belief in the eventual reconciliation of all beings with God, distinguished her from more traditional Christian theology. Though controversial during her lifetime, Leade's writings are increasingly appreciated by those interested in esoteric Christianity and the divine feminine.
This volume is a nicely bound 19th century collection in German of Jane Leade’s writings and sermons concerning ‘spiritual warfare’ and the Lamb of God.
