Apocalypse Of The Word

BY DOUGLAS GWYN
Gwyn emphasizes the apocalyptic perspective behind George Fox's declaration that "Christ has come to teach his people himself" and describes how it affected Fox's view of preaching, worship and Church order. This work helps explain the urgency of the message that sparked the early Quaker movement. "This highly readable work develops the religious thought of George Fox in new and fresh ways and constitutes a major contribution to early Quaker research." - Dean Freiday.

The Covenant Crucified

Quakerism And The Rise Of Capitalism

BY DOUGLAS GWYN
Doug Gwyn has researched and written extensively on early Quakers in 17th-century England. The Covenant Crucified combines the scholarly and prophetic to compare "covenant":- uniting people under the care of a transcendent God, and "contract":- uniting them primarily through secular visions of self-interest. "This book is critical to our understanding of early Friends and how the movement changed during the first decades. He outlines the distinctive nature of the Quaker "Covenant of Light", and how that was transformed within a generation into a more worldly contractual understanding. It is also a call to Quakers today to recover a sense of covenant for the journey ahead." - Ben Pink Dandelion

Light To Live By

An Exploration In Quaker Spirituality

BY REX AMBLER
Light to Live By is a companion volume to Truth of the Heart: An Anthology of George Fox. Rex Ambler describes a "personal practice of meditation which I discovered in early Friends" and tells "the story of my attempts to use the practice and develop it in my own personal life." Ambler sees Fox, in a tract of 1653, clearly describing a meditative process which Ambler describes in detail, relating it to his own personal exploration and spiritual development. In the appendix the author outlines the stages of meditation, based on the practice of early Friends but given present day relevance. This book is an explication of Ambler's famous 'experiment with Light' process.
