The Voiceless Prophet John Dagg’s Silent Theological Revolution

What happens when a preacher loses the very thing that defines his ministry—his voice? In this episode, we explore the extraordinary life of John Leadley Dagg ($1794–1884$), an antebellum pastor who suffered a catastrophic physical breakdown that left him blind, lame, and unable to speak. Denied the pulpit, Dagg used a specialized, mechanical tactile writing frame to bypass his disabilities and author America’s very first distinct Baptist systematic theology. Discover how a man operating in absolute physical silence managed to build a lasting intellectual legacy that shaped church history for centuries. #ChurchHistory #Theology #Biographies #BaptistHistory #DisabilityHistory #ChristianApologetics #JohnLDagg
