Synopsis

"A balanced, thorough account of a seventeenth-century figure, who has amazing relevance for our time. Gwyn's analysis shows in a convincing manner that George Fox's type of apocalyptic spiritualism forms a healthy antidote to the apocalyptic chilasm of our day."

j. Christiaan Beker, Richard J. Dearborn Professor of New Testament Theology, Princeton Theological Seminary
