Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a response to a controversial pamphlet by Thomas Bewley, who questioned the place and authority of the Holy Scripture in the Religious Society of Friends. The author, a member of the society, refutes Bewley's claims, arguing that the Holy Scriptures are not the primary rule of faith and manners, but rather a secondary guide, subordinate to the inward testimony of the Spirit of Truth. The author provides ample evidence from the Scriptures themselves, as well as from the writings of early Friends, to support this position. The book also explores the dangers of elevating the Scriptures above the inward witness of the Spirit, and the importance of relying on the Spirit as the primary guide in one's spiritual journey. Through this analysis, the author sheds light on the vital relationship between Scripture and Spirit, and emphasizes the centrality of inward experience in authentic Christian living.
