4.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to Quakerism
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2014

Intellectually sound but also very moving and affecting. It conveys a "felt sense" of the faith as well as information about it. This was my first book on Quakerism and appears to be a standard. The original version was "Friends for 300 Years."
This version has a disappointing and downbeat addendum for the additional "50" which is not worthy of the original.

As a practicing Quaker, I feel it is important to know what it is Society of Friends believe and why. This book has filled in gaps in my understanding and knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quaker 'Classic'
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2003
Quaker 'classic.' Brinton, who helped start Pacific Yearly Meeting (in California, Mexico, Hawaii) of the Religious Society of Friends (unprogrammed) and Pendle Hill (Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation near Philadelphia), describes the development of Quakerism since its beginnings with George Fox, Margaret Fell and others in the mid-1650s in England. He highlights the unique (mystical) form of Quaker Worship (in silence) as a third form of Christianity. Pendle Hill Publications used to title this book "Friends for 300 Years."

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, comprehensive, interesting "textbook" on Quakers
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2014
Excellent. So far, the best comprehensive, clear and interesting introduction to Quakerism I've bumped into. Not dry at all. Fun to read.
