Podcast: Johannes Kelpius

[Paul Ferguson]

"Titan Radio podcast host/producer Vivian Eader interviews Westminster College Religion and Philosophy professor Dr. Timothy Grieve-Carlson about his book, American Aurora: Environment and Apocalypse in the Life of Johannes Kelpius. They discuss his expertise and background in the field, as well as his journey to Westminster College. Grieve-Carlson’s book explores the impact of climate change on early modern radical religious groups during the height of the Little Ice Age—a period of widespread cooling in the North Atlantic region—during the 17th century. Grieve-Carlson focuses on the life of Johannes Kelpius, a Pietist and theologian who settled in Philadelphia in 1694, and looks at the Hermetic and alchemical dimensions of Kelpius’ Christianity before turning to his legacy in American religion and literature."
