Revolutionary Quaker Witness

Learning From The Lamb's War Of The 1650's

BY DOUG GWYN

Brief Description:
What were they thinking? What were the spiritual and social roots of the activism our Quaker forbearers were known for? Doug Gwyn provides a short guide to the history of Quaker beginnings, focussing on the aspects that enabled the first Friends to truly 'tear down the pillars of the world' as one version of the George Fox song has it. Gwyn applies his understanding of this dynamic to our current sense of impasse in the face of the world's ills, and comes up with some challenging answers.
