Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written in 1858, examines the surprisingly chaotic and contentious history of the Quakers, a group which, despite being founded on the fundamental principles of peace, equality, and individual conscience, has been mired in internal disputes and schisms. The author argues that the problems that plagued the Quakers, such as the formation of a rigid and secretive leadership, and the suppression of differing viewpoints, stem from the tension between these founding principles and the desire for organizational control. Ever since their establishment, the Quakers have faced periods of decline, each one rooted in the paradoxical nature of their founding vision. Nevertheless, this book illuminates the significant philosophical and historical ideas at the core of Quakerism, ensuring that the movement's legacy will continue to be discussed and debated today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
