The Life History Of Richard Overton

By Tisha Greer


Richard Overton, an English man who has been known probably by the work of his hands, had done several publications that included that of criticizing the Church of England, and the Catholics among many other non-denominational religions associated with Christianity. This was majorly based on their practices and believes. He later became a convert of the general baptism where he went with quite a number of people

He had become very stubborn especially to the government. This is because of his several publications that were not in line with what the government wanted. This is the cause of him being behind bars twice in his lifetime. However, despite of being thrown in jail, he did not stop what he was doing and even did it in prison.

In his teachings he argued that the both the body and the soul are mortal. They both die and only resurrect on the last day which is the judgment day. This is not what most of the churches taught their congregation and therefore a lot of people became confused. Politically, this man mostly fought for equality amongst the people and opposed how the government oppressed some people especially the poor.

Being a good author, he came up with several books and publications that would sell on top of the market. This was in addition to the spirit of fighting and letting the truth be known to the people. This is what he enjoyed most and even during the hard times in prison, he used to write some. He was known as a person who did exactly what he had planned to do and did not fear anybody even the government.

In the year 1965, Richard fled from his mother country top Flanders where he felt he was safe and no one would hurt him. This was after the two times which he was arrested and put behind bars. He has been known as a strict person and a performer. However, no one knows how and where he spent his childhood. He is said to have learnt in queen college, Cambridge, after which he worked as an actor and a script writer before becoming an author.

Richard Overton was a man that many people called husband and father, this is because of his generosity and help towards the orphaned and widowed. He did not have in mind the social class of someone before they interacted or before he helped you out. This is what most people remember and admire him for. He has been put into record for his kindness.

In his education life, he was known to be a very good mathematician and a poet too. This shows that he was very clever and that is why he choose this career not that he chose it because he lacked what to do. He was a selfless person. He hid not think of himself even for a second but though about the rights of others.

It is worth noting that Richard Overton was a very popular man. However, he gained his popularity after releasing his pamphlets and books. This man was known to be a very good author and his books were loved by many. His personality is also worth admiration.
