Excerpt from The Faith and Practice of the Quakers
The issue now before us is not merely one between the scientific interpretation of the universe and the Biblical interpretation of it. If it were solely that, it could in time be settled by the gradual process of thought, for the mind can in the end answer the ques tions which the mind asks. If one answer is right and the other answer is wrong, some day the right position will conquer the wrong, and truth will drive error from the field.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the emergence and significance of the Society of Friends, also known as Quakers, during a tumultuous period in English history. The author delves into the societal and religious landscape of the 17th century, demonstrating how the Quakers arose from a wave of reform movements that challenged the established Church of England. Examining the Quaker faith and practice, the book illuminates how the group, influenced by mystical and spiritual thinkers, emphasized a direct, personal relationship with God and a life guided by the "inner light" within each individual. The author contrasts the Quaker emphasis on internal revelation with the rigid theological structures of the time, highlighting how the Quakers' rejection of formalized doctrines and traditional religious practices set them apart. The book provides a captivating glimpse into the Quakers' unique approach to spirituality and their enduring impact on the world, demonstrating the power of personal faith and individual experience in a world often dominated by external authority.
