DeRobigne Mortimer Bennett (December 23, 1818 – December 6, 1882) was the founder and publisher of The Truth Seeker, a radical freethought and reform American periodical.[1] Bennett was a devout member of the Shakers for 13 years before evolving into a "freethinker", founding The Truth Seeker newspaper in 1873.[2] In 1878, Bennett wrote that "Jesuism", rather than Pauline Christianity, was the gospel taught by Peter, John and James.[3]
Bennett was the subject of the biography D. M. Bennett: The Truth Seeker (2006) by Roderick Bradford and a 2009 documentary.[4]
On 1st September, 1873, D.M. and M.W. Bennett released the first tabloid edition of The Truth Seeker. With the purpose as follows:
"Devoted to: science, morals, free thought, free discussions, liberalism, sexual equality, labor reform, progression, free education and whatever tends to elevate and emancipate the human race."
"Opposed to: priestcraft, ecclesiasticism, dogmas, creeds, false theology, superstition, bigotry, ignorance, monopolies, aristocracies, privileged classes, tyranny, oppression, and everything that degrades or burdens mankind mentally or physically. " [5] The Truth Seeker was extreme for its times, and it persists to this day though in self-resucetating form.
