Exploring Quakerism's Forgotten Century w/ Ben Pink Dandelion

In this episode I am joined by top Quaker historian Ben Pink Dandelion (author of An Introduction to Quakerism and co-author of Early Quakers and Their Theological Thought amongst many more!) We do a deep dive of 18th Century Quakerism, also known as the Quietist period of Quaker history. We look at the theological concerns and motivations for Quakers at this time, as well as how they acted in society and the role of women.
