Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Quakers, then keep reading...Many other mainline Christians viewed the Quakers as a dangerous sect, so much so that they pressured the British Parliament to pass the Quaker Act of 1662. This act set forth in law the "prescribed form" of prayer and worship as designated by the state. It was a formula that specifically left the traditions of the Quakers out. Unable to gain acceptance in England, the Quakers would soon leave the place of their origin altogether and try their luck in a brave new world on another continent.In The Quakers: A Captivating Guide to a Historically Christian Group and How William Penn Founded the Colony of Pennsylvania in British North America, you will discover topics such asThe Quakers Arrive in AmericaWilliam Penn Comes to the Quaker FaithWilliam Penn's Holy ExperimentWilliam Penn, Pennsylvania, and Its Quaker LegacyThe State of Quakerism after William PennQuaker Life during the American RevolutionA Time of Great AdjustmentThe Quakers the Civil War and Its AftermathSome Modern-Day Quaking in the MakingAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the Quakers, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!
