William Penn's 'Primitive Christianity Revived' is a foundational text in Quaker theology and a significant work in the history of religious thought.
Originally published in 1696, it systematically outlines the beliefs and practices of the Religious Society of Friends, emphasizing the 'Inward Light' and its manifestations in early Christian faith. Penn, a prominent Quaker, advocate for religious freedom, and founder of Pennsylvania, sought to explain Quakerism to a skeptical world.
This modern English translation by Paul Buckley makes Penn's complex 17th-century prose accessible to contemporary readers, thereby ensuring the continued study and understanding of a critical piece of Quaker and American religious history.
