The Living Witness of John Woolman

John Woolman deserves to be ranked among the great spiritual leaders of mankind. Exemplifying the highest quality of ethical thought and action, he is comparable to such better known figures as Albert Schweitzer and Mahatma Gandhi.

This pamphlet is one result of an abiding interest in Woolman, which culminated in editing The Journal and Major Essays of John Woolman, published by Oxford University Press in A Library of Protestant Thought. Only this edition reproduces accurately Woolman’s complete treatment of such topics as tax refusal and reparations to the Blacks.
