Synopsis
This highly readable work develops the religious thought of George Fox (1624-1691) in new and fresh ways and constitutes a major contribution to early Quaker research. A balanced, thorough account of a seventeenth-century figure, who has amazing relevance for our time, Gwyn’s analysis shows in a convincing manner that George Fox’s type of apocalyptic spiritualism forms a healthy antidote to the apocalyptic chiliasm of our day.
