Description :

The Religious Society of Friends arose as a passionate missionary movement

in the 1650s and suffered through decades of persecution before gaining legal

toleration in 1689. The new religious sect questioned the fundamental values

and underlying principles of English society, pointedly challenging the social,

political, and religious status quo. From its inception, members of the Society

felt divinely called to model a God-centered alternative to the surrounding

culture. Outwardly, this was manifested by such things as distinctive ways of

dressing and unique forms of speech. Inwardly, Friends were characterized by

their faithful dependence on the immediate direction of the Inward Light of

Christ in all aspects of their lives. As the years passed, the outward forms

dropped away and the peculiarities of the Quaker way of life gradually

disappeared. While in some ways Friends today continue to resist

&quottheworld's ways,&quotthey have largely accommodated themselves to

the forms, customs, and standards of the peoples they live among.Primitive

Quakerism Revived challenges contemporary Friends in each of the Society's

branches to reexamine their fundamental beliefs and practices, to identify the

changes and additions that have been made in the past three and a half

centuries, and to acknowledge which of those are unacceptable compromises

that need to be abandoned. This book is a plea to reclaim the essential

Quaker principles and mission by modeling a joyfully faithful community of

God.
