| Summary | "Three Apostles of Quakerism: Popular Sketches of Fox, Penn and Barclay" by B. Rhodes is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on three pivotal figures in the early Quaker movement: George Fox, William Penn, and Robert Barclay. Through biographical sketches, it aims to explore their lives, contributions to Quakerism, and the spiritual principles that characterized the Society of Friends. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage with an introduction expressing the need for a popular understanding of Quaker history and the contributions of its early leaders. The Preface outlines Rhodes’ intent to provide an accessible overview while reflecting his genuine admiration for these figures. George Fox, described as an impassioned evangelist, faced various trials and tribulations as he sought to share his faith. William Penn is acknowledged for his more diplomatic role in shaping Quakerism, highlighted by his interactions with political powers, notably during his time as the founder of Pennsylvania. The Preface emphasizes the significance of their combined legacies in promoting a unique spiritual journey that denounced formalism and embraced direct communion with God.
