Beskrivelse af The Journal And Essays Of John Woolman
The Journal and Essays of John Woolman is a collection of writings by the Quaker preacher and abolitionist, John Woolman. The book is divided into two parts: the first part is Woolman's journal, which he began writing in 1756 and continued until his death in 1772. The journal chronicles Woolman's spiritual journey and his efforts to live a simple, humble life in accordance with Quaker beliefs. It also includes his reflections on social justice issues, particularly his opposition to slavery.The second part of the book consists of essays and letters written by Woolman on a variety of topics, including his opposition to war, his concerns about the treatment of Native Americans, and his views on the role of women in society. Many of the essays focus on Woolman's belief in the importance of living a life of integrity and simplicity, and the need to reject materialism and consumerism.Overall, The Journal and Essays of John Woolman provides a fascinating glimpse into the life and beliefs of one of the most important Quaker thinkers and activists of the 18th century. It is a powerful testament to the power of faith and the importance of living a life of compassion and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
