Autor

Rebecca Ruter Springer (1832-1904) was an American author and poet born in Indianapolis, Indiana, to a Methodist minister father. Raised in a deeply religious household, Springer wrote numerous books and articles on Christian theology throughout her life. Her most famous work, Intra Muros (later republished as My Dream of Heaven), detailed her near-death experience and vision of heaven. Springer's writings were popular in the 19th century, and she was a member of the Holiness movement, which emphasized personal holiness and sanctification.Springer's health was fragile, and by some accounts, her health was an issue throughout her life. In 1859, she married William Springer, a lawyer, and member of the Illinois General Assembly. The couple had one son, also named William.Springer passed away in 1904 at the age of 72, leaving behind a legacy as a pioneering female author and religious thinker. Her works continue to be appreciated for their spiritual insights and literary merit. Although not much is known about her personal life, her contributions to Christian literature remain significant and enduring.
