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

The government was behind the back of Richard Overton, this is because they wanted to understand why he was opposing things so much. Because of his writings he became extremely popular amongst the people of the nation. The government was not happy with what was happening and twice, they imprisoned him.

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.

Richard was known by what he did best, writing books that used to sell very fast since they were very interesting. He was also known as a very firm man who would only stop what he is doing because he has finished and not that someone is trying to stop him. This was evident when even behind bars he afforded to publish pamphlets.

He has been known as a man who fights for people. This is because no one exactly knows how he spent the better parts of his life. He is believed to have taken his college education in queens located in Cambridge. He has also worked as an actor of several scripts and has written some of the scripts himself. Overton in his life has been tortured two times which contributed to his running away to Flanders in the year 1965.

Even though the man was a popular person in his country, he still interacted with people well and treated them as if they were on the same level. Since Overton was fighting for equality amongst people, he was the first one to practice it and did not care about the social class of a person. He was kind, generous and a good man that one would feel comfortable being around.

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.

Richard Overton was a person who people enjoyed to listen to and read his publications. This is because of the humor that he had. He was a very interesting man who did not care about who was against him. Due to this, he became popular among the people.
