Religious Views Of The Society Of Friends

What do Friends really believe? In this clear, concise exposition, Howard M. Jenkins opens the meeting-house doors and invites readers into the living faith of the Religious Society of Friends. This is Quaker faith, distilled. Written by a leading 19th-century Quaker historian, Religious Views Of The Society Of Friends sets out the central Society of Friends doctrines in plain yet thoughtful terms: the nature of God and Christ, the role of Scripture, worship without ritual, and the inward presence of the Spirit. As both quaker theology book and accessible christian doctrinal study, it offers a reliable religious society of friends overview for students of christianity, clergy, and general readers alike. Jenkins traces how quaker christian beliefs grew from the ministry of George Fox, placing inner light theology, silent meeting, and ethical testimony in the wider landscape of early protestant dissenters and american quaker history. More than a denominational handbook, this compact quaker studies reference illuminates 19th century quakerism at a moment of reflection and definition, when Friends were rearticulating their heritage for a modern world. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Ideal for anyone seeking a thoughtful introduction to george fox quaker teachings and for collectors building a library of classic religious texts, it stands as a lucid window into one of Christianity's most distinctive communities.
