Johann Georg Rapp (1757-1847) was a weaver from Iptingen in the duchy of Wurttemberg, Germany. In 1785, he separated from the Lutheran church on account of his radical Pietist convictions. Religious persecution led Rapp and approximately 700 of his disciples to immigrate to Pennsylvania between 1804 and 1807, where they founded a communal society, the Harmony Society. They understood their society to be the Sunwoman (Rev 12) in the "American wilderness."

520 $a Johann Georg Rapp (1757-1847) was a weaver from Iptingen in the duchy of Wurttemberg, Germany. In 1785, he separated from the Lutheran church on account of his radical Pietist convictions. Religious persecution led Rapp and approximately 700 of his disciples to immigrate to Pennsylvania between 1804 and 1807, where they founded a communal society, the Harmony Society. They understood their society to be the Sunwoman (Rev 12) in the "American wilderness."
520 $a The religious beliefs of George Rapp and the Harmony Society were a unique blend of orthodox Lutheran beliefs and emphases found within churchly and radical Pietism. Rapp's mature theology (ca. 1830-1847) was characterized by two divergent trajectories--a biblical-eschatological and a mystical-spiritual trajectory. The biblical-eschatological trajectory was staunchly biblical and theologically conservative. The Lutheran heritage of Rapp and his disciples was reflected in the sola Scriptura principle, orthodox formulations of the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the importance of Christ's substitutionary atonement, and justification by faith. Churchly Pietist emphases included the centrality of the doctrine of regeneration, growth in sanctification, and the priesthood of all believers. Rapp's Separatists and the Harmony Society espoused an "Anabaptist" ecclesiology, which stressed the necessity of a visible believers' church, a Eucharistic celebration modeled on the primitive Jerusalem church, believers' baptism by immersion, and strict church discipline. Rapp's eschatology was based on a literal, biblical hermeneutic, a contemporary-futurist approach to Revelation, and a premillennial interpretation of Revelation 20-22.
520 $a The desire for "deeper knowledge" and a numinous experience of God was reflected in the mystical-spiritual trajectory of Rapp's mature theology. Rapp employed an allegorical hermeneutic of Scripture at times. The Jewish cabbalistic doctrine of the Sephiroth was used to explain the dynamism of the Trinity. Rapp and the Harmonists appropriated key elements from Gerhard Tersteegen's pietistically-inspired, quietistic mysticism. Like Jakob Boehme, Gottfried Arnold, and other radical Pietists, the Harmonists venerated Wisdom or Sophia as the female principle within the Trinity. The influence of Jakob Boehme on the religious beliefs of George Rapp and the Harmony Society was not as pervasive as some scholars have contended. It was found primarily in Harmonist cosmogony, anthropology, and Sophialogy.
