Excerpt from A Study in Doctrine and Discipline
Thirty-nine Articles would be employed. So today, Friends, in an attempt to state the spiritual truths of their faith, must use the seventeenth century material inherited from the fathers, not so much as the last word of the Society to the world, as a state ment of general fundamental truth, vital in its essentials, but subject to varying inter pretation and progressive application to hu man conditions. This rational view of even fundamental doctrine, will appear more plainly as this study proceeds.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins of Quaker beliefs and practices, with a particular focus on the concept of the Inner Light. The author traces its origins to seventeenth-century founder George Fox and other early Quakers, drawing on their own writings and teachings to show how this central tenet of Quakerism developed. The book examines how this belief in an inherent divine spark within all individuals guided the Quakers' approach to ministry, worship, and their testimonies (moral guidelines). The author also explores the evolution of the Quaker discipline, the collection of rules and advices that govern the Society of Friends. Throughout, the book highlights the tension between the Quakers' commitment to individual conscience and their need for an organized structure for communal worship and witness. This book provides insights into the foundational principles that have shaped Quakerism and continue to guide its members today.
