In 1828, Elias Hicks was the best-known Quaker in the United
States. He was a deep and original religious thinker, a commanding
and compelling preacher, and though eighty years old, still a
faithful traveling minister. Whenever God said, "Go " he went. If
he is remembered at all today, it is for his role in the most
traumatic events in the history of the Religious Society of Friends
- a series of separations that split American Quakers into two
hostile camps - one of which came to be called Hicksite. Over the
years, his memory has been lost to stories told by his friends and
his opponents. Much of what people believe about him is false. The
truth is, Elias Hicks was a minister, a mystic, a farmer, an
environmentalist, an abolitionist, a father and a husband. This
book aims to reveal the real Elias Hicks and his understanding of
what it means to be a Quaker. Elias Hicks has much to say to
Friends today. Paul Buckley is a Quaker historian and theologian,
well-known among Friends of all stripes for his workshops, short
courses, and retreats. He has written books on William Penn and
Elias Hicks, and the Lord's Prayer; and co-edited The Quaker Bible
Reader.
