The Inner Light in the History and Present Problems of the Society of Friends (Classic Reprint): The Historical Lecture Delivered at North Carolina ... Month, the Eighth, 1945 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Inner Light in the History and Present Problems of the Society of Friends
A marked feature of modern history is the tendency toward per sonal independence, self-sufficiency and autonomy. This is true in mechanics, politics, science and religion. The locomotive steam engine, the Diesel electric engine and the automobile all illustrate it. At first the benefits of steam power were confined to machines that could be reached from the engine by shafts and belts: the wonder of the locomotive steam engine and the automobile was that each carries its own generator within it. Electric power was at first confined to motors that were near enough to the power stations for current to be carried without too great loss through transmission lines whether trolley-wire, third rail or high tension wires. The Diesel electric locomotive of the streamliner carries its own generator.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the concept of the Inner Light, a central tenet of Quakerism. The author traces the development of this doctrine from its origins in the teachings of George Fox, through its modification by Quietism and Evangelicalism, to its present-day status. The book argues that the Inner Light represents a radical departure from traditional Christian beliefs about the nature of salvation and the role of the individual in the religious experience. The author argues that the Inner Light doctrine is a powerful force for good in the world, and it provides a unique perspective on the human condition. It is a well-researched and thought-provoking work that will be of interest to scholars of religion, history, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Quakerism and its place in the broader Christian tradition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
