{"product_id":"the-wissahickon-monks-joseph-howard-tyson-9798334039711","title":"The Wissahickon Monks","description":"In 1688 eccentric genius Johann Jacob Zimmerman founded the non-denominational Chapter of Perfection (subsequently known in America as The Monks of the Wissahickon). An accomplished mathematician and astronomer, this former Lutheran minister combined multiple currents of 17th century thought when cobbling together the \"constitution\" of his religious order: Luther's emphasis on sacred scripture, Jakob Boehme's theosophy, and the occult arts of astrology, numerology, alchemy, and geomancy.\u003cbr\u003eLike the Dutch Mennonites from Krefeld, Zimmerman's monks were attracted to William Penn's \"Holy Experiment\" in Philadelphia, a new city named for the righteous congregation mentioned by Revelation, Chapter 3. Between 1693 and 1694 Quaker businessman Benjamin Furly assisted the monks during their fitful migrations from Hamburg to Rotterdam, then London to Philadelphia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Howard Tyson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798334039711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Joseph Howard Tyson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47452831875327,"sku":"9798334039711","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_494a616c-cdfb-4f7f-b9d2-bf04d2a08a98.jpg?v=1761930744","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-wissahickon-monks-joseph-howard-tyson-9798334039711","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
