The People Called Quakers

BY ELTON TRUEBLOOD
This volume is more philosophical than historical. It is an effort to depict a people who represent one element in radical Christianity and their ideas and insights. The book attempts to sum up the many avenues Quakerism has explored and to see it as an entire movement containing contrasting and complementary emphases. The author sees this book as especially valuable to those of other faiths interested in exploring Quakerism.
