Holiness

The Soul Of Quakerism

BY CAROLE DALE SPENCER

Brief Description:
Subtitled "An Historical analysis of the theology of holiness in the Quaker tradition." This original and stimulating work takes the "Holiness" movement and its ideas as a key to reinterpreting Quakerism, rooting it in the Christian mystical tradition. The author challenges many popular assumptions about Quaker history and theology. "This is one of the most powerful and interesting studies I have read for a very long time." - John Punshon. Carole Spencer teaches at George Fox Seminary in Oregon and is a Quaker pastor and convinced Friend.
