Authority And The Early Quakers

Authority And The Early Quakers

Authority And The Early Quakers

BY JACK DOBBS

Brief Description:
Early Quakers recognized neither the bible, nor the church , and certainly not the state, as their supreme authority. They claimed the spirit of Christ, the inward light, as the authority in which they placed their absolute trust. They believed that if only they could understand it, that spirit could give unity to a Quaker meeting as it jointly searched for the will of god. Dobbs looks at these ideas and how they began and changed in the early years of Quakerism.
