Noyes, John Humphrey (1811–86), born in Vermont, after graduation from Dartmouth (1830) studied theology at Andover and Yale. He lost his license to preach (1834) when he propounded his doctrine of
perfectionism, or complete freedom from sin. His colony of Bible Communists at Putney, Vt. (1836–46), a socioreligious community of perfectionists, came to an end when he fled from charges of adultery, which arose from the colony's system of complex marriages. He carried out his theories more successfully at the
Oneida Community (1848–79), but was again threatened with legal action, and removed to Canada, where he died. His views were expounded in
The Berean (1847), and developed in
Bible Communism (1848),
Male Continence (1848),
Scientific Propagation (c. 1873), and
Home Talks (1875). He also wrote
History of American Socialisms (1870).
