The Clouded Quaker Star

James Nayler, 1618-1660

BY VERA MASSEY
A compelling perspective on James Nayler's ministry before and after his trial and conviction for blasphemy by parliament. It's all here: Nayler's power and faith, his torment, his stormy relationship with George Fox. This new biography draws the reader into the drama-the friendships, the falling-outs, the sacrifices, and the courage-of the men and women who gave birth to the Religious Society of Friends.

James Nayler - Revolutionary To Prophet

BY DAVID NEELON
James Nayler: Revolutionary to Prophet is the definitive study of one of the earliest leaders of the Quaker movement. Along with George Fox and the "Valiant Sixty," Nayler's itinerant ministry helped gather seekers for spiritual satisfaction and religious order after the mid-17th Century civil wars in England. Early Quakers were bold and prophetic in the Biblical tradition. James Nayler: Revolutionary to Prophet presents for the first time, a full account of Nayler's life. "Compared with recent books on Nayler, this is more accessible to the general reader than Damrosch's, more scholarly than Massey, and more comprehensive than Bittle."Rosemary Moore.Suggested price $39.95 our Price $35.95

Through this exploration, Brian Drayton invites readers into a closer acquaintance and dialogue with the life and works of James Nayler. Discussion questions included.

The Works Of James Nayler - Volume 4

BY JAMES NAYLER, EDITED BY LICIA KUENNING
This is the final volume of Nayler's complete works. The tone of his later writings is a little less strident than that of his earlier ones, and he has more to say about the virtue of "meekness," but he remains uncompromising about total obedience to Christ within as the only road to salvation. Some of these writings were smuggled out of prison, and some could not be graced with his name until enough time had passed for that name to be less of a scandal. Three of his late essays were co-authored with other leading Quakers (two with Richard Hubberthorne and one with George Whitehead). A very comprehensive and useful index to the four volume set is included.
