Apology for the True Christian Divinity is a religious book written by Robert Barclay, a Scottish Quaker theologian, in 1676. It is an explanation and defense of the principles and doctrines of the Quaker faith, which was often misunderstood and persecuted during that time. The book is divided into fifteen chapters, each addressing a different aspect of Quaker beliefs, such as the nature of God, the role of Christ, and the importance of the inner light. Barclay argues that Quakerism is a continuation of the early Christian church and that its teachings are based on the Bible and the direct revelation of God. He also addresses common criticisms of Quakerism, such as accusations of blasphemy and heresy. Overall, Apology for the True Christian Divinity is a seminal work in Quaker theology and an important contribution to the history of religious thought.1780. This work presents the world with a brief, but true account of the Quakers' principles, in some short theological positions, which, according to the will of God, proving successful, beyond Mr. Barclay's expectation, to the satisfaction of several, and to the exciting in many, a desire of being farther informed concerning the Quakers, as being everywhere evil spoken of; and likewise meeting with public opposition by some, so long as the devil rules in the children of disobedience. He presents this apology of the truth held by those people.
