Radical faith. Quiet defiance. In these quaker historical memoirs, William Hodgson traces how a small, despised community became a recognised moral force across Britain and beyond. Their witness still speaks today. Focusing on seventeenth century Quakers and the formative decades that followed, he offers a succinct account of their character, convictions and public course through to mature eighteenth century Quaker history. Persecution of Quakers, steadfast refusal of oaths and tithes, plain worship, and the discipline of a people gathered under the Inner Light are set within the wider landscape of early modern Protestant history and dissenting Christian movements. Both religious history classic and Christian sect history book, this narrative stands at the crossroads of biography, theology and social change. Hodgson writes as an informed insider, preserving essential society of Friends history while remaining accessible for religious history students, general readers of spiritual history, and for church history libraries building strong collections in nonconformity. Expect clear portraits of quaker beliefs and practices, the evolution of their witness in public life, and the tensions between inward spirituality and outward organisation that shaped the movement. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
