Hinshaw, former president of William Penn College, explores Quakerism's roots in ethical perfection (in contrast to the more familiar comparison with mysticism). A well-informed and well-written, thought-provoking essay.

FriendshipFLibrary | Jan 31, 2024 |

The author offers an evaluation of Quakerism, which, he feels, owes more to ethical perfectionism then to the mysticism often ascribed to it. It was this perfectionism which, above all else, separated George Fox and his followers from the Calvinism of their time. Substituting neo-orthodoxy for Calvinism, the author draws a modern parallel.
