Description

This book examines the history of Quakerism in terms of the holiness tradition arguing that the holiness heritage of Quakerism can be traced to its founder, George Fox, who understood union with God, or perfection, as the essence of the Christian experience. The study identifies eight different traditions of Christian holiness and shows how Quakerism uniquely combined elements of each, reinterpreting them into a radical new kind of holiness movement. It also identifies eight essential elements that comprise Quaker holiness, and shows how these are located within differing emphases in the writings of early Friends and in Quakerism thereafter—Scripture, eschatology, conversion, evangelism, charisma, suffering, mysticism, and perfection.
