The
third of my three John King book purchases from a week or two ago. Hey, I deserved to
splurge on my day off after working until 1 AM and also selling 4 things
on eBay in the previous 24 hours. Yay, me or some bosh of sorts.
As for the book, it's from 1981 and was published by the Gale Research Company of Detroit, which only added to the allure of the superbly plain and jacket-less cover. But enough with my preamble.
ADAMITISM
the practice of going naked for God; the belief of some ascetic sects in ritual nakedness. --Adamite, n. --Adamitic, adj. Cf. gymnosophy.
