An authority on early Quakers - preview
Ben Pink Dandelion reviews a book explaining many ideas from the beginning of Quakerism
Authority and the Early Quakers by Jack Dobbs Published by Martin Hartog, Frenchay, £10 Available from the Quaker Bookshop
The last twenty years have seen a huge growth in the academic study of Quakerism and the scholarly understanding of Quakerism has benefited hugely The problem is that this doesn't always help the Quaker on the bench New insights are either hidden as unpublished theses on library shelves, packed away in obscure and/or expensive books or written in inaccessible language Here's a book which combines first rate scholarly insight and accessibility at a very affordable price Indeed, this volume is outstanding value for money
