Last Witnesses: The Muggletonian History, 1652-1979

By William Lamont

Charting the history of the Muggletonians from their beginnings in the 1650s to the death of the last believer in 1979, this book provides a lively and engaging history of one of England's most fascinating religious sects. By following the history of the Muggletonians from the heady post-civil days through to the 1970s, this work offers a unique perspective on radical Christian belief and practice, and how it adapted to the changing world around it. More than this, however, it tells the fascinating story of how a small religious group, that eschewed active proselytising and believed in the mortality of the soul, managed to overcome persecution and obscurity to survive for 320 years.
