Octavo. 6th edition. [16],[1]-574, [6], [14],[8] pp. Contemporary Cambridge style calf. Moderate wear and rubbing. Front board detached, rear joint cracked. Scattered foxing. Robert Barclay was one of the most famous exponents of the Society of Friends. Barclay wrote in a time when Friends were facing serious persecution and potential destruction. "Robert Barclay made Quaker thinking logically defensible when the movement was only about a quarter of a century old. Some think he saved it from extinction." Robert Barclay, Champion of Quaker Ideal Dan Graves. "The Apology remains the classic statement of Quaker principles." ODNB; Smith I, 182. "This early and enduring exposition of Quaker beliefs defined Quakerism as a religion of the 'inner light.' Arguing against both Roman Catholicism and traditional Protestantism, including Anglicanism, Barclay asserted that neither the church nor the Scriptures could claim completeness or ultimate authority and that both were secondary to the work of the Holy Spirit, "the Inner Light" in the believer." See: Copeland, Paul. "Robert Barclay : Who He Was and Why He Matters. Part 1," The Australian Friend, 1206 June 2012, Issue. Lowndes, vol. 1, p. 113 and Sabin, 3364. Translation of Theologiae vere Christianae apologia.
