The Quaker Doctrine Of Inward Peace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432599515)

The Quaker Doctrine Of Inward Peace is a book written by Howard H. Brinton. The book is an exploration of the Quaker philosophy of finding inner peace and stillness through meditation and contemplation. Brinton delves into the history of Quakerism, tracing its roots back to the 17th century and examining the teachings of its founder, George Fox. He explains how the Quaker belief in the ""inner light"" - the idea that each individual has a divine spark within themselves - leads to a focus on personal reflection and self-examination. The book also explores the Quaker commitment to non-violence and social justice, and how these principles are rooted in the belief in the inherent worth and dignity of every human being. Brinton examines the ways in which Quakerism has influenced society, from the abolitionist movement to the modern-day peace movement.Throughout the book, Brinton draws on his own experiences as a Quaker and a scholar of religion, offering insights into the practical application of Quaker principles in daily life. The Quaker Doctrine Of Inward Peace is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of a unique and influential religious tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
