This book examines the stories of radical Protestant women who
prophesied between the British Civil Wars and the Great Awakening.
It explores how women prophets shaped religious and civic
communities in the British Atlantic world by invoking claims of
chosenness. Elizabeth Bouldin interweaves detailed individual
studies with analysis that summarizes trends and patterns among
women prophets from a variety of backgrounds throughout the British
Isles, colonial North America, and continental Europe. Highlighting
the ecumenical goals of many early modern dissenters, Women
Prophets and Radical Protestantism in the British Atlantic World,
1640-1730 places female prophecy in the context of major political,
cultural, and religious transformations of the period. These
include transatlantic migration, debates over toleration, the
formation of Atlantic religious networks, and the rise of the
public sphere. This wide-ranging volume will appeal to all those
interested in European and British Atlantic history and the history
of women and religion.
