Confidence man turned prophet Arthur Bentley Worthington, also known as Samuel Oakley Crawford, splashed across the collective consciousness of New Zealand in the late nineteenth century.
Founding a new religion so powerful that it threatened the stability of the Christian churches, Worthington and his Students of Truth claimed as many as thirty thousand members before the inevitable collapse. Based on his unique re-interpretation of the Bible and a personal modification of the Christian Science philosophy, Worthington managed to forge an entirely new religion.
This book offers 118 of his Bible Talks restored from stenographers' transcripts of lectures delivered between 1892 and 1895 in the Temple of Truth in Christchurch, New Zealand.
