The Story of George Fox is a biographical account of the life and teachings of the founder of the Quaker movement, George Fox. Written by Rufus M. Jones, a prominent Quaker theologian and historian, the book chronicles Fox's life from his early years as a dissenter in 17th century England to his eventual establishment of the Religious Society of Friends. Jones explores Fox's spiritual journey, including his mystical experiences and his rejection of the established church, and examines the social and political context in which he lived. The book also delves into the Quaker beliefs and practices that Fox developed and promoted, such as the importance of direct experience with God, the rejection of formal religious ceremonies, and the emphasis on social justice and equality. Throughout the book, Jones draws on primary sources, including Fox's own writings, to provide a detailed and nuanced portrait of this important figure in religious history. The Story of George Fox is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in the Quaker movement, the history of dissent in England, or the intersection of spirituality and social activism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
