Synopsis

This book traces the historical evolution of the Society of Friends - also known as Quakers - in America from its inception in England to the early 19th century. At the book's core lies an 1828 legal dispute between two factions of the Society of Friends, one known as the Hicksite party and the other as the Orthodox party, that illustrates a deep schism within the Quaker community. The author delves into the contrasting religious doctrines, beliefs and governance of these two factions to explore the complex and evolving nature of faith within the Society of Friends. The book highlights the significance of this schism not only in terms of religious doctrine but also in the broader context of American history, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by religious communities in times of division and change.
