Knowing The Mystery Of Life Within

Selected Writings Of Isaac Penington In Their Historical And Theological Context

SELECTED AND INTRODUCED BY MELVIN KEISER AND ROSEMARY MOORE
Isaac Penington's writings provide a special insight into the turbulent mid-17th century. In his long struggle for "fullness of life" he produced some of the most profound spiritual counsel in Quaker literature. Part I is Isaac Penington's life in its historical context, through his letters to other Quakers transcribed from manuscript, and Part II presents his spirituality and thought with extracts from published works. With extensive commentary in each part, this is a more comprehensive representation of Penington's writings than ever before, designed to make the manner and substance of his thinking accessible in the 21st century to readers interested in early Quaker thought.
