{"product_id":"9780983498087","title":"The Essential Elias Hicks","description":"In 1828, Elias Hicks was the best-known Quaker in the United States. He was a deep and original religious thinker, a commanding and compelling preacher, and though eighty years old, still a faithful traveling minister. Whenever God said, \"Go!\" he went. \u003cp\u003eIf he is remembered at all today, it is for his role in the most traumatic events in the history of the Religious Society of Friends - a series of separations that split American Quakers into two hostile camps - one of which came to be called Hicksite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the years, his memory has been lost to stories told by his friends and his opponents. Much of what people believe about him is false. The truth is, Elias Hicks was a minister, a mystic, a farmer, an environmentalist, an abolitionist, a father and a husband. This book aims to reveal the real Elias Hicks and his understanding of what it means to be a Quaker.\u003cbr\u003eElias Hicks has much to say to Friends today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Buckley is a Quaker historian and theologian, well-known among Friends of all stripes for his workshops, short courses, and retreats. He has written books on William Penn and Elias Hicks, and the Lord's Prayer; and co-edited The Quaker Bible Reader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Inner Light Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49849764118768,"sku":"9780983498087","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780983498087","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
