Description

Following the death of John Reeve in 1658 Lodowick Muggleton faced a revolt against his leadership of the Muggletonian church while at the same time desiring to consolidate the theological developments he sought to make to his predecessors legacy. In this context Lodowick Muggleton's chose an exposition of the eleventh chapter of the book of Revelation for his first solely self attributed work, with the 1662 "A True Interpretation of the Eleventh Chapter of The Revelation of Saint John". Rather surprisingly Muggleton revisited this topic in 1665 with the publication of "A True Interpretation of all the Chief Texts, and Mysterious Sayings and Visions Opened, of the Whole Book of The Revelation of Saint John". This book contains the full texts of both Muggleton's works on the book of Revelation together with the 1894 entry in respect of Lodowick Muggleton from the "Dictionary of National Biography", newly typeset and presented in one volume.
