Excerpt from The Faith and Practice of the Quakers The issue now before us is not merely one between the scientific interpretation of the universe and the Biblical interpretation of it. If it were solely that, it could in time be settled by the gradual process of thought, for the mind can in the end answer the ques tions which the mind asks. If one answer is right and the other answer is wrong, some day the right position will conquer the wrong, and truth will drive error from the field.

Excerpt from The Faith of a Quaker There arise also the insistent questions which beset all mystics, and which in Quakerism demanded a corporate, instead of an individual, answer. Was the light infallible? Was the claim to it an assumption of spiritual exaltation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In this classic text, Rufus M. Jones offers an insightful overview of Quaker history, beliefs and humanitarianism. The Society of Friends was founded in the seventeenth century by George Fox, who could not abide by the teachings of the established Church of England. Convinced that communicating with Christ need not involve a qualified clergyman, he founded the Society of Friends. Many found his approach refreshing, but it also stirred up resentment and resistance in the established Christian order. A defining difference between the Quakers and other denominations is the process by which Friends meet and communicate directly with God. Such spiritual conversation between adherents was immediately different from conventional gatherings wherein a preacher offers the congregation a speech on a given subject. Rufus M. Jones discusses these topics with maturity and respect, drawing upon the existing histories and accounts in a manner certain to sustain the reader's interest.

Excerpt from Primitive Christianity Revived: In the Faith and Practice of the People Called Quakers; Written in Testimony to the Present Dispensation of God Through Them to the World And when thou, reader, shalt come to be ao quainted with the Holy Spirit, and the plain and happy teachings of it, thou wilt, with us, admire that thou shouldst have lived so long a stranger to what was so near thee, and as much wonder that others should be so blind as not to see it, as formerly thou thoughtest us singular for obeying it. The day I believe is at hand, that will de cl are this with an uncontrolable authority, because it will be with an unquestionable evidence.

Perhaps no religious group enjoys such wholehearted esteem as the Society of Friends. Ever since their founding, the Quakers have proved a stimulating and inspiriting force in the Christian Church. Standing for Jesus’ program for world peace, practicing non-resistance, and performing miracles of mercy and relief in a world of hatred, they have achieved a position almost unique in Christendom. Their astonishing history is here told by one who is of all men most fitted for the task—Dr. Rufus M. Jones, one of the founders of the American Friends Service Committee and one of the most influential Quakers of the 20th century.
