Synopsis

In "An Apology for the True Christian Divinity," Robert Barclay presents a compelling defense of Quaker theology against prevailing religious doctrines of the 17th century. The book is structured as a systematic exposition of the Quaker faith, employing a blend of philosophical reasoning and scriptural references to elucidate the inner experience of divinity. Barclay's literary style is marked by clarity and conviction, utilizing rational discourse to confront theological critiques while emphasizing the importance of personal revelation and inner light. Written during a tumultuous period of religious upheaval, this work serves as a significant historical document reflecting the broader context of the Protestant reformations and the emerging Quaker movement. Robert Barclay (1648-1690), a prominent Quaker theologian and apologist, was inherently motivated to write this book due to the persecution faced by the Quakers. His upbringing in a well-to-do family in Scotland afforded him a significant education, allowing him to articulate the principles of Quakerism articulately. Barclay's dedication to defending the Quaker belief system stemmed from a deep commitment to religious plurality and freedom, rooted in his experiences of discrimination. This seminal work not only provides profound insights into the foundations of Quaker thought but also serves as a timeless invitation for readers to explore the nature of spiritual truth and personal faith. Scholars, theologians, and seekers alike will find Barclay's arguments compelling and his intentions noble, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of Christian thought.

God Gave Rock and Roll to You -...

Leah Payne

Few things frightened conservative white Protestant parents of the 1950s and the 1960s more than thought of their children falling prey to the "menace to Christendom" known as rock and roll. The raucous sounds of Elvis Presley and Little Richard seemed tailor-made to destroy the faith of their young and, in the process, undermine the moral foundations of the United States. Parents and pastors launched a crusade against rock music, but they were fighting an uphill battle. 
 
 
 
Salvation came in a most unlikely form. When a revival swept through counterculture hippie communities of the West Coast in the 1960s and 1970s a new alternative emerged. Known as the Jesus Movement—and its members, more colloquially, as "Jesus freaks"—the revival was short-lived. But by combining the rock and folk music of the counterculture with religious ideas and aims of conservative white evangelicals, Jesus freaks and evangelical media moguls gave birth to an entire genre known as Contemporary Christian Music (CCM). 
 
  
 
In this book, Leah Payne traces the history and trajectory of CCM in America and, in the process, demonstrates how the industry, its artists, and its fans shaped—and continue to shape—conservative, (mostly) white, evangelical Protestantism.
