Theology and Women's Ministry in Seventeenth-Century English Quakerism: Handmaids of the Lord (review)

The reader is sometimes overwhelmed with names of individuals whose significance is debatable, except to their descendants or a meeting. The recent material shows that we cannot yet discern general trends because each social concern appears crucial to the participants. NYYM now has only about 4,000 members, but there is no discussion ofwhat membership means, how many contribute, serve on committees, come to worship services. Do many attendees play such important toles that formal membership, like recording ministers, may be irrelevant? Does Universalistic Quakerism appeal mostly to Unitarian and Jewish converts? How do political activism and spiritual nurture meld? Several authors have cited elsewhere local, quarterly and yearly men's and women's meeting minutes, but such sources are rarely included in the footnotes, leaving a reader unable to judge how much is known about local Quakerism. Weaknesses are to be expected in a pioneering book of such scope and do not detract from its overall excellence. All serious students of Quakerism should own a copy of this reasonably priced book which I predict they will often consult because it contains so much important information on a wide variety of historical and current topics.
