Huguenot Prophecy and Clandestine Worship in the Eighteenth Century: 'The Sacred Theatre of the Cévennes'

This book focuses upon outlawed Protestant religiosity in the Cévennes region of south-eastern France at the beginning of the eighteenth century, providing insights into the occurrence of prophesying at forbidden assemblies and the immediate origins of the bloody Camisard rebellion of 1702-10. The book also explores the reactions of the Huguenot community of London, which became caught up in the prophesying controversy with the publication in 1707 of Le Théatre sacré des Cévennes.
