The Reformation Of American Quakerism, 1748-1783 (QuakerBooks)

The Reformation Of American Quakerism, 1748-1783

BY JACK MARIETTA

Brief Description:
Offers a detailed history of the withdrawal of the Society of Friends from mainstream America in the years between 1748 and the end of the American Revolution. Examines the causes, course, and consequences, both social and political, of the Quakers' retreat from prominent positions in civil government while at the same time developing a more distinctive and "purified" religious community. These changes amounted to a watershed in the greater history of the Society of Friends, a turning away from its engagement with the world toward a role as critic and gadfly on the periphery of political society.
