Reviews

Review of the first publication: ‘The book gathers together material that is nowhere else gathered together, and marshals it in a form that can be readily assimilated by the non-specialist. It sets in their historical perspective issues, cultural as well as religious, that are perennial and contemporary.’ — Edward Milligan, Quaker historian
