Apology for the True Christian Divinity is a book written by Robert Barclay, a prominent theologian and member of the Quaker community. The book is a comprehensive explanation and defense of the principles and doctrines of the Quaker faith. Barclay begins by outlining the historical context of the Quaker movement and its origins in 17th century England. He then goes on to explain the fundamental beliefs of Quakerism, including their rejection of traditional religious hierarchies, their emphasis on direct spiritual experience, and their commitment to nonviolence and social justice.Throughout the book, Barclay addresses common criticisms and misconceptions about Quakerism, such as accusations of blasphemy, heresy, and anarchism. He also provides detailed explanations of Quaker practices such as silent worship, the use of plain language, and the refusal to take oaths.Apology for the True Christian Divinity is considered a foundational text of the Quaker faith and has been influential in shaping the beliefs and practices of Quakers around the world. It is also valued by scholars of religion and history for its insights into the development of religious thought during the early modern period.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1780 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
