By Walter Edgerton

Book Overview

""Modern Quakerism Examined And Contrasted With That Of The Ancient Type"" is a book written by Walter Edgerton and published in 1876. The book is a critical examination of the contemporary Quaker movement and its divergence from the traditional Quaker practices of the past. Edgerton compares and contrasts the beliefs and practices of modern Quakerism with those of the ancient Quaker movement, highlighting the changes that have occurred over time. The book is divided into chapters that cover topics such as the history of Quakerism, the Quaker testimony of peace, the role of women in Quakerism, and the Quaker approach to worship. Edgerton argues that modern Quakerism has become too liberal and has lost its original spiritual focus, and he calls for a return to the traditional Quaker values and practices. The book provides a valuable insight into the evolution of the Quaker movement and its challenges in maintaining its identity over time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
