Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the connection between the founder of Quakerism, George Fox, and the Salvation Army. The author, although a Salvationist, argues that Fox's ideals are far removed from those practiced by the Army today. In comparing Fox's writings with the Army's actions, the author notes numerous contradictions. For example, Fox held that religious preaching should only be done after receiving the Holy Spirit's leading, a far cry from the Army's set routines. The author concludes that the Army has forsaken Fox's quiet, led-by-the-Spirit approach in favor of a loud, numbers-driven one. This fascinating comparison sheds light on two seemingly unconnected belief systems.
