This review is from: The Faith and Practice of the Quakers (Paperback)

I read this right around the time that I went to attend Azusa Pacific's School of Theology. I was teaching Philosophy at the time at a local college and found this book to be a good basis for discussion. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and keep the book in my theology library as a ready resource. It is useful for thinking about the Evangelical Movement in the U.S. as well as the basis for the Society of Friends' approaches to slavery, pacifism, and political action. All of these issues appear to be alive and kicking in today's world, some hundreds of years after the dawn of the Friends' movement. Given its antithesis to Orthodox Christianity, it is a good place to compare a non-ritualistic approach to Faith versus the tradition and practices of the Catholics. A worthy read for anybody.
