Oahspe: A New Bible

Oahspe: A New Bible is a book published in 1882, purporting to contain "new revelations" from "...the Embassadors of the angel hosts of heaven prepared and revealed unto man in the name of Jehovih..." It was written by an American dentist, John Ballou Newbrough (1828–1891), who reported it to have been produced by automatic writing, making it one of a number of 19th-century neo-revelationist works attributed to that practice. Adherents of the revelation expounded in Oahspe are referred to as "Faithists".

Oahspe comprises a series of related interior books chronicling earth and its heavenly administrations, as well as setting forth teachings for modern times. Included are over 100 drawings. The title page of Oahspe describes its contents with these words:

A New Bible in the Words of Jehovih and His Angel Ambassadors. A Sacred History of the Dominions of the Higher and Lower Heavens on the Earth for the Past Twenty-Four Thousand Years together with a Synopsis of the Cosmogony of the Universe; the Creation of Planets; the Creation of Man; the Unseen Worlds; the Labor and Glory of Gods and Goddesses in the Etherean Heavens; with the New Commandments of Jehovih to Man of the Present Day.

"Jehovih" is used in Oahspe as the name of the Creator. Jehovih (father) Om (mother) - these are the two names of the Creator. Other references are The Great Spirit, The All Person, the unseen and ever present. God is a title for once mortal or in corporeal form (spirit within a body) The Creator is all and was all and forever will be all, He/She was never born and was never a God. The Creator is our father and mother and all that are and were born are our brothers and sisters.

The Oahspe has been stated as being the first known reference to the term "starship".
