Quakerism: A Study Guide on the Religious Society of Friends

SOME EXCERPTS FROM REVIEWS OF THIS BOOK "There is probably no other up-to-the-minute Quaker study guide as comprehensive as this one and it belongs with other selections of Quaker studies for the general reader." -- Candida Palmer in Quaker Information Press. "By the author's own admission, it (the attempt to provide materials for a wide range of readers) is an ambitious plan. Yet this reader, for one, is impressed with how well he manages to carry it off. The book is eminently readable _ . . , panoramic in coverage, and practical in plan." Samuel D. Caldwell in Quaker Educational Graffiti of the Friends Council on Education. "This recently-written, up-to-date, broad-based account of Quakerism - past, present, and future - is a welcome addition to Friends reading. It is interestingly written, with frequent anecdotes as well as an amazing amount of information. For pastors or others involved in new members' classes, or for youth learning about their Quaker faith and heritage, this will be a most valuable tool." Jack Willcuts in Quaker Lyfe and in the Evangelical Friend. "Leonard Kenworthy has prepared a very interesting study guide which should be useful to adult First-Day School classes and in Friends schools where Quakerism is taught .... the book should be of great use to many Friends and I hope it will be widely used." Edwin B. Bronner in Friends Journal. "The book is notable for its myriad details, its careful organization, and its balanced fairness to various strands within the Society of Friends. While obviously intended first for Quaker meetings and schools, the book will serve well the interest of "friends of the Friends" who want a dependable overview of origins, development, and contemporary expres- sions of this 330 year movement." Olcutt Sanders in Fellowshyn of the Fellowship of Reconcili- ation.
