Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book undertakes an exploration of the enduring clash between traditional Christianity and Quakerism. The author, writing roughly a century after the rise of the Quaker movement, interrogates their rejection of prominent Christian doctrines like the divinity of Christ, the Trinity, and the inspiration and authority of the Bible. He then delves into the contemporary Quaker understanding of these concepts, which they believe to be obscured by literalist interpretations of scripture. The author argues that while literalism can lead to error, inspiration is not an ongoing phenomenon but a historical fact confined to the biblical era. The book examines the consequences of these differing beliefs and provides a nuanced understanding of the relationship between scripture and divine revelation.
