Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the tale of the Society of Friends, reexamining its historical roots through a survey of Christian traditions, to forge a through line of influential people and events that led to its creation. From the early Christian mystics to the religious turmoil in 17th century England, this book weaves together a narrative of the forces that ignited this major religious movement. Many religious books focus on a single subject or topic, but this book takes a holistic approach, examining the full breadth of Quakerism's journey. The author doesn't shy away from the movements' internal controversies, and the inherent contradictions that come from the group's commitment to both the mystical and the rational. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion and the ways in which Quakerism has developed over the centuries.
