John Woolman, a tailor, was a lay Quaker leader in religiously charged 18th century America. Led by his radical apocalyptic beliefs, Woolman encouraged social reforms and critiqued the burgeoning trans-Atlantic economy, slavery, and British imperial conflicts. Kershner argues that instead of the militant apocalypticism commonly associated with radical Christian groups, Woolman utilized Quaker and mystical sources to craft a spiritualized "apocalypse of the heart."
