651 - The Inebriated Past 12: Jesus’ Brother (8/4/22)
Added 2022-08-04 20:59:43 +0000 UTCMatt discusses the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a rebel state that existed in China from 1851-1864. The rebellion was organized around the landless Hakka people by Hong Xiuquan who, after failing his bureaucratic entrance exams, had a nervous breakdown that led him to believe he was the brother of Jesus Christ. Matt tracks the rise and fall of the kingdom, and how it fits in other proto-socialist movements, and the resonances with the Mormon history he laid out on the last two episodes of the Inebriated Past.

2022-08-08 18:26:54 +0000 UTCMatt should follow up with the Baha’i and Baha’u’llah’s story, same timeframe, very similar contexts in the Middle East.
