Quakerism

"The Quakers, or the Religious Society of Friends, emerged from the social unrest of the English civil war and have gone on to have an influence way beyond their numbers, through their pioneering work against slavery, for example, and through their continued stance against war." "This Very Short Introduction charts the history of the movement from its origins to the diversity of Quaker groups around the world today. Placing Quakerism in the wider religious picture, and exploring its distinctive worship methods, approaches to belief, theology, and ecumenism, and the future of the movement, this is a fascinating look at a varied and growing worldwide faith."--BOOK JACKET.Dandelion, Pink is the author of 'Quakerism', published 2008 under ISBN 9780199206797 and ISBN 0199206791.
