Publisher's Synopsis
""Early Friends and Modern Professors: In Reply to Strictures"" is a book written by Henry Martin in response to Joseph John Gurney's criticisms of the Quaker movement. The book was originally published in 1836 and is a detailed analysis of the early Quaker movement and its teachings. Martin argues that the Quakers were a radical and revolutionary group that challenged the dominant religious and social norms of their time. He also defends the Quakers against Gurney's accusations that they had strayed from their original principles and become too liberal and accommodating. Martin argues that the Quakers' commitment to simplicity, equality, and non-violence remains as relevant today as it did in the seventeenth century. The book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the Quaker movement and its place in modern society. It is recommended for anyone interested in the history of religion and social change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
