Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an account of the faith and practices of the Society of Friends, a unique religious group that originated in England during the 17th century. The author, a member of the Society, provides a comprehensive overview of their beliefs, history, and distinctive practices, positioning them within the broader context of the Protestant Reformation and Puritanism. The book delves into the central tenets of Quakerism, including the belief in the immediate teaching of the Spirit of God in their own hearts and consciences, which has led to their rejection of traditional religious structures and practices. The author explores their emphasis on simplicity, peace, and social justice, examining how these principles have shaped their approach to worship, marriage, language, and other aspects of daily life.
