First Among Friends
George Fox & The Creation Of Quakerism
BY LARRY INGLE
Brief Description:
Grounded in new research on primary sources this well written and original biography is a valuable resource on the founder of Quakerism. "Larry Ingle's First Among Friends is a landmark work of Quaker history. Anyone who seeks to understand the origins and essence of the Society of Friends could do no better than to read it. Certainly every Friends' meeting should own it, and every Friend should read it. The book's scholarship is pioneering, its style solicitous, and its insights into the tumultuous, history-making life of George Fox are numerous and eye-opening. This benchmark work secures Larry Ingle's stature as the leading American historian of Quakerism." -Chuck Fager
