Redemption Through Sin and the 1666 Sabbatean Movement
The discussion centers on Robert Sepehr's book, 1666: Redemption Through Sin, which details the rise of Sabbatai Zevi. Zevi declared himself the Messiah in 1666 and gained a massive following by proclaiming that redemption could be achieved through acts of sin and religious inversion. This movement encouraged the abolition of traditional Jewish rituals and promoted practices such as sexual promiscuity and religious orgies as part of a new messianic age.
