Holiness: The Soul of Quakerism

Theology

“In this original and stimulating work, Carole Spencer takes holiness as her interpretive key, rooting Quakerism in the Christian mystical tradition. She uses her analysis to challenge a number of widely-held assumptions about Quaker history and theology, and has opened the doors to a wide range of new research possibilities. This is one of the most powerful and interesting studies I have read for a very long time.”
