Observations on the Articles published in the Episcopal Recorder offer a pointed look at early Quaker disagreements over scriptural authority and the role of inward revelation.
This 1837 work, attributed to Thomas Evans, argues for Holy Scripture as the rule of faith and practice and critiques the idea that inner inspiration can stand above or replace the Bible. It traces tensions within the Society of Friends, contrasts it with the so-called Hicksites, and engages with the writings of John Wilkinson and Robert Barclay to examine how “first principles” have shaped dissent and division.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a defense of the religious Society of Friends commonly known as Quakers. The author, a prominent Quaker, was prompted to write in response to a letter from a former Quaker member, John Wilkinson, who denounced the Society for not accepting the Scriptures as the sole rule of faith. However, the author argues that the fundamental principle of Quakerism, that the Holy Spirit is the primary guide in spiritual matters, is not incompatible with Scripture, but establishes its authority on the only sure basis â" the witness of the Spirit. The author further refutes the accusations of deism and heresy that were leveled at Quakerism. This in-depth examination of the fundamentals of Quakerism, its history, and its beliefs will prove invaluable to those who are interested in the origin and principles of the Religious Society of Friends.
