The True Christian Theology of the Early Friends

The True Christian Theology of the Early Friends, by Thomas Kimber, offers a detailed exploration of the theological underpinnings of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in their formative years. Originally presented as an essay before the professors and students of Earlham College in 1880, this work provides valuable insight into the beliefs and practices that defined the early Quaker movement.

Kimber, in conjunction with the New York Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, elucidates the core tenets of Quaker theology, examining its unique perspective within the broader context of Christian thought. This volume serves as a historical document and a theological treatise, offering readers a deeper understanding of the intellectual and spiritual heritage of the Friends.

This work remains relevant for those interested in religious history, Quaker studies, and the evolution of Christian theological thought. Its enduring value lies in its clear articulation of the principles that guided one of the most distinctive religious movements in history.
