This is the first comprehensive introduction to Quakerism which
balances a history of the theology of the Quakers or Friends with
an overview of present day practice. It charts the growth of the
Quaker movement through the 1650s and 1660s, its different
theological emphasis in the eighteenth century, and the schisms of
the nineteenth century which resulted in the range of Quaker
traditions found around the world today. The book focuses in
particular on notions of 'endtime', 'spiritual intimacy', and what
counts as 'the world' as key areas of theological change. The
second half of the book uses extracts from Quaker texts to
highlight differences in belief and approach between the different
traditions and analyses their future prospects. The book is
generously illustrated and includes numerous diagrams to help the
reader. Undergraduate and graduate students will find this an
essential introduction to the Quaker movement.
