The fundamental insight of the early Friends was that God was to be sought not "out there" but within our hearts (hence, the metaphors of the inner light, the seed, the Christ within, etc). It seems a paradox, then, that despite this turning inward, Friends, even during the Quietist 18th century, never turned their backs on society. These early Friends may not have had an overarching theory that explains the workings of society, but they were acutely aware of inequities and injustices in the social order and sought to remedy them.

This five-session reading and discussion series explores early Friends' responses to the social inequities and injustices that they saw around them. Readings are drawn from the original writings of George Fox, James Nayler, John Bellers, William Penn and John Woolman, spanning the first century of Quakerism, 1650s to 1750s.

Organizing and leading the discussions will be Paul Seaver, Emeritus Professor of History at Stanford who specializes in early modern English history, when Quakerism was born. This binder contains five DVDs plus an appendix DVD and the reading materials.

Recorded 3/22/2009, 4/5/2009, 4/19/2009, and 4/26/2009.
