Though there have never been many Quakers, these small numbers
belie the sect's tremendous impact, both historical and
contemporary. Quakerism has produced an astonishing and
disproportionate number of eminent thinkers, scientists,
industrialists and businessmen, who are united not only by their
success but by their commitment to philanthropy and social justice.
Quakers also played an important role in early American history,
William Penn even having a state named after him. In this
illustrated introduction, Peter Furtado traces the history of
Quakerism through the tumultuous period of the Civil War and
Restoration, its zealous and unrelenting opposition to the slave
trade, and its continued work at the forefront of peacemaking,
poverty relief, conflict resolution and charity. He also looks
closely at the egalitarian teachings of Quakerism's founder, George
Fox, and at how the sect's beliefs have developed since, including
their undaunted pacifism and why they have been so successful in
business.
