Reviews

[A] landmark achievement in its comprehensiveness and nuance. It demonstrates Quakerism to be a diverse and complex religion that is constantly changing and interacting with external pressures, and it shows Quaker Studies to be a cutting-edge and active field of scholarship.
*Quaker Religious Thought*

An indispensable resource for anyone interested in the academic study of Qakerism. Essential.
