Micah's Mother, or a Neglected Chapter in Church History (Classic Reprint): A Lecture - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore a neglected chapter of church history and the fierce debates that shaped early Quaker practice.
This nonfiction work centers on a pivotal 17th‑century lecture about Micah’s Mother and the heated disputes it sparked over discipline, ministry, and women’s meetings among Friends. It surveys how George Fox, William Rogers, and Thomas Ellwood debated right conduct, scriptural interpretation, and the authority of church governance in a time of fierce religious contention.
Readers will encounter vivid biographical details, sharp theological arguments, and the way these early debates influenced later missionary work and denominational life. The narrative shows how earnest writers argued for or against the public role of women, the nature of spiritual liberty, and the place of ministers in the church.
- How Micah’s Mother became a flashpoint for discussions on women’s meetings and church authority.
- The clash between inward spiritual truth and outward church governance.
- Arguments over how ministers should be funded, supported, and sent on mission.
- Connections between 17th‑century quarrels and later developments in church life.
Ideal for readers of religious history, Quaker studies, and those curious about how early church debates shaped modern ministry.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on a peculiar controversy that arose within the Quaker community in the late 17th century. The author explores how a group of Quakers, led by John Wilkinson and John Story, challenged the established practices of the Society of Friends, questioning the authority of church leadership and advocating for a more individualistic and spiritual approach to faith. The book examines the arguments and motivations of both sides of the debate, drawing from a wide range of primary sources, including letters, pamphlets, and meeting minutes. It situates this controversy within the broader context of Quakerism's emerging organizational structure and its commitment to social reform. Through its analysis of the "Ranter" controversy, this book offers insights into the tensions between individual conscience, spiritual authority, and the need for community in religious organizations. It highlights the challenges and opportunities that arise when religious movements seek to balance their founding principles with the practicalities of institutionalization. Ultimately, the book's exploration of this historical episode sheds light on the enduring questions of religious authority, the interplay of tradition and innovation, and the role of dissent within faith communities.
