Reviews

... if one could construct a theology that would be true to the [Quaker] tradition, and take account of modern developments without being dominated by them, one might provide contemporary Friends concerned with the Christian basis of unprogrammed Quakerism with a firm place to stand....Maurice Creasey accepted this challenge, and in the long run, there may be more wisdom in the work he left behind than in either the rectitude of the traditionalists or the enthusiasm of the progressives. (Prof. John Punshon Earlham College)
