Primitive Christianity Revived - William Penn - Bog

Primitive Christianity Revived: In The Faith And Practice Of The People Called Quakers is a book written by William Penn, a prominent Quaker leader and founder of the colony of Pennsylvania. The book explores the beliefs and practices of the Quaker religion, which emphasizes direct communication with God and the importance of living a simple and peaceful life. Penn argues that these principles are not new, but rather a revival of the early Christian faith as practiced by Jesus and his disciples. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of Quaker belief and practice. Penn discusses the importance of silence and contemplation in Quaker worship, as well as the rejection of outward forms and rituals in favor of a more spiritual approach to religion. He also explores the Quaker belief in the inner light, or the idea that all people have a direct connection to God that can guide their lives. In addition to exploring Quaker theology, Penn also discusses the practical aspects of Quaker life, including their commitment to pacifism, equality, and social justice. He argues that these values are not only important for individual spiritual growth, but also for creating a more just and peaceful society. Overall, Primitive Christianity Revived offers a detailed and thoughtful exploration of the Quaker faith and its place in the broader Christian tradition. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Quakerism or the history of Christianity more broadly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
