Early Friends And Modern Professors

""Early Friends and Modern Professors: In Reply to Strictures, by Joseph John Gurney"" is a book written by Henry Martin in 1836. The book is a response to criticisms made by Joseph John Gurney, a prominent Quaker minister, about the beliefs and practices of the early Quaker movement. Martin argues that Gurney and other modern Quakers have strayed from the original teachings of George Fox and other early Quaker leaders. Martin defends the early Quaker emphasis on direct spiritual experience, simplicity, and nonviolence, and criticizes the modern Quaker focus on social reform and political activism. The book provides a detailed analysis of Quaker history and theology, and is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of the Quaker movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
