Warren Felt Evans (1817–1889) switched over to Methodism whereas at Dartmouth university, grew to become a minister, and spent his Methodist years as a religious seeker. His extant journals, edited and annotated via Catherine L. Albanese, look in print for the 1st time and demonstrate the interior trip of a number one American non secular pilgrim at a serious interval in his spiritual seek. A voracious reader, he recorded bills of excessive spiritual adventure in his journals. He moved from the Oberlin perfectionism he embraced early on, during the French quietism of Madame J. Guyon and Archbishop Fénelon, then into Swedenborgianism, spiritualism, and brain healing with targeted theosophical overtones. His conscientiously documented trip is suggestive of the same trips of the spiritual seekers who made their method into the burgeoning metaphysical flow on the finish of the nineteenth century—and may perhaps shed mild too on ultra-modern spirituality.
