Views And Testimonies Of Friends

By Isaac H Hillborn

Book Overview

In an age of noise and conflict, the quiet courage of the early Friends still unsettles, questions, and consoles. These voices still speak today. In Views And Testimonies Of Friends, Isaac H. Hillborn gathers vivid declarations of faith, conscience and compassion that lie at the heart of the Quaker spiritual testimonies: the inward light, plain living, and the Quaker peace testimony that refuses violence in the name of Christ. As Christian theology nonfiction, it sits among the historical Christian writings that show belief not as abstraction but as life lived, a Quaker religious classic for anyone drawn to Christian pacifist teachings and the moral drama of obedience to the Spirit. More than a window into historic Quaker America and the classic Quaker movement, Hillborn's collection offers a slow, searching conversation with men and women who weighed the cost of discipleship in every detail of daily life. Readers of George Fox writings and John Woolman readers alike will find familiar themes of simplicity, service and courageous dissent, while newcomers gain an accessible entry point for Quaker studies and for Christian history readers seeking primary voices rather than second-hand summaries. 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.
