reviewed The Quakers in English Society, 1655-1725 on March 05, 2016 The Quakers in English Society, 1655-1725
Debated between a 2 and 3 star rating.
Walter Williams employees an easy, almost folksy writing style. He attempts, especially early on to weave the stories of the principles of Quakerism into a larger narrative. These are all good things.
Unfortunately the book suffers from lack of a good and aggressive editor. It takes 350 pages to convey 150 pages of content. The sentence structures are overly complex. The timeline ends up disorganized and disjointed. It becomes difficult to keep all the principles and incidentals straight.
Williams attempts to be fair in his treatment of the subject, but his love for his heritage does leave you at times wishing he as a bit less of an enthusiastic fan.
Do I recommend it? If you are researching Quakerism,especially if you would like to hear from the evangelical voice within Quakerism, yes. If you are required to read it for a class or professional obligation, yes.
