The Rediscovery Of Primitive Christianity

BY JOSEPH JOHN GURNEY

Brief Description:
Gurney (1788-1847), Elizabeth Fry's brother, was a birthright Friend and a recorded minister. He traveled extensively in America, and Europe working for peace, penal reform, and the abolition of slavery. But he was divisive in America, his view that Quakers had forsaken the Bible for the Inner light led to a major split in Quakerism that persists to today. This book presents his views on the radical nature of Quakerism.
