Gleanings from the Works of George Fox by George Fox and Dorothy M. Richardson
"Gleanings from the Works of George Fox" by Dorothy M. Richardson is a religious compilation written in the early 20th century. This collection encapsulates the teachings and reflections of George Fox, the founder of the Quaker movement, emphasizing themes of inner spirituality, personal witness, and social justice. The text is likely to appeal to those interested in Quaker principles, mysticism, or spiritual writings that challenge conventional religious authority. The opening of thiswork presents an introduction detailing the unique perspective of George Fox as a mystical and practical figure in religious history, emphasizing his focus on direct communion with God and individual experience of the divine. Richardson describes Fox as a bridge between the historical mysticism of the past and the emerging independent spiritual consciousness of his time. The text outlines Fox's belief in the "Inner Light," which illuminates the truth within each individual, laying the groundwork for the narrative passages and testimonies that follow in the book. The beginning effectively sets the stage for understanding Fox’s revolutionary contributions to religion, particularly in the context of his advocacy for a personal, unmediated relationship with God and social equity.
