Synopsis

George Fox: An Autobiography reveals a life shaped by a singular spiritual voice and a restless quest for truth. This edition presents Fox’s journal with careful abridgement and editor’s notes to illuminate the man, his times, and the inner life that drove his words.

The narrative moves from England to Scotland and beyond, tracing a remarkable journey of faith during a tumultuous era. Readers glimpse the power of conviction, the clashes with priests and authorities, and the way one sustained belief shaped a whole movement.

• Experience Fox’s perspective on religion, dissent, and personal revelation in the Commonwealth and Restoration periods.


• See historical settings come alive through vivid scenes in courts, inns, prisons, and meeting halls.


• Understand the shaping of a religious movement through intimate, inward testimony rather than public triumphs.


• Explore the editor’s purpose: to clarify context while preserving the voice of the book.

Ideal for readers of religious history, autobiographies, and studies of mysticism who seek a firsthand account of a social and spiritual revolution.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It {G eorge Fox sJ ournal) is one of the most extraordinary and instructive narratives in the world; which no reader of competent judgment can peruse without revering the virtue of the writer. Sib James Mackintosh. The basis of his [O eorge Fox s] teaching was the belief that each soul is in religious matters answerable not to its fellows, but toG od alone, without priestly mediation, because the Holy Spirit is immediately present in every soul and is thus a direct cause of illumination. From this central belief flowed two important practical consequences, both essentially modem; one was complete toleration, the other was complete equality of human beings before the law. John Fiske. To sum up in fewest possible words the impression made by his IG eorge Fox s] words and works upon one who studies them across the level of two centuries: he was a man of lion-like courage and adamantine strength of will, absolutely truthful, devoted to the fulfillment of what he believed to be his God-appointed mission, and without any of those side-long looks at worldly promotion and aggrandizement which many sincere leaders of church parlies have cast at intervals of their journey. Thomas Hodgkin.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
