Publisher's Synopsis
""George Fox: An Autobiography"" is a book written by Rufus M. Jones that chronicles the life of George Fox, the founder of the Quaker movement. The book is based on Fox's own writings, including his journal, letters, and other documents, and provides a detailed account of his life from his early years to his death. The book begins with Fox's childhood in England, where he grew up in a time of political and religious upheaval. As a young man, he became disillusioned with the established church and began searching for spiritual truth. He eventually had a transformative experience that led him to start preaching and gathering followers who became known as the Society of Friends, or Quakers. The book covers Fox's travels throughout England and abroad, his encounters with other religious leaders and authorities, and his experiences of persecution and imprisonment. It also delves into Fox's theological beliefs, including his rejection of formal religious ceremonies and his emphasis on the inner light of God within each individual. Throughout the book, Jones provides commentary and analysis of Fox's life and teachings, as well as the historical context in which he lived. The book is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of the Quaker movement and the life of one of its most influential figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
