The Light Of Christ Exalted Or The More Excellent Way Briefly Set Forth: Being An Apology For Leaving The Methodists And Joining The Society Of Friends - Softcover
Synopsis
The Light of Christ Exalted, also known as The More Excellent Way Briefly Set Forth, is a book written by Joseph Sutton. The book is an apology for Sutton's decision to leave the Methodist church and join the Society of Friends, also known as Quakers. In the book, Sutton explores the reasons behind his departure from the Methodist church and his subsequent conversion to Quakerism. He argues that the Quaker belief in the inner light of Christ is a more authentic and meaningful way to connect with God than the more traditional methods of worship and prayer practiced by the Methodists. Sutton also delves into the history and beliefs of the Quaker faith, providing readers with a comprehensive overview of their practices and principles. He discusses the importance of simplicity, pacifism, and equality in the Quaker tradition, and how these values have shaped his own spiritual journey. Overall, The Light of Christ Exalted is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of one man's journey towards a deeper understanding of faith and spirituality. It offers a unique perspective on the Quaker tradition and the reasons why some individuals may choose to leave more mainstream churches in search of a more meaningful spiritual experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
