"Modern Saints and Seers" by Jean Finot is a socio-religious exploration written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the rise of various religious sects and movements emerging from the fabric of society in Russia and America, examining the psychological and societal factors behind these phenomena. It specifically focuses on unique sects and their founders, highlighting their quest for spiritual meaning amid historical turmoil. The opening of the text serves as a prelude to the examination of contemporary religious movements, discussing the general resurgence of spiritual inquiry following a significant period of hardship. It asserts that traditional faiths have weakened, giving rise to a craving for new spiritual truths, which is explored through the lens of newly emerging sects. The beginnings of the book set the stage for a more detailed investigation into specific groups such as the Negativists and the White-Robed Believers, portraying their philosophies and motivations as intertwined with the collective psyche of a suffering populace. It emphasizes the complexity of belief systems amid social and economic despair, preparing the reader for a deeper dive into the unusual expressions of faith that follow.
