Anglican/Quaker Divinity in the 1650s
Historiographical interest in the religious politics of anti-Calvinists in the 1650s has been revived by the recent interventions of Anthony Milton, Andrew Ollerton, and William White, amongst others. Set against these developments, this paper will offer an exploration of attempts by select Quakers and Episcopalian-Arminians to define their sense of the divine, particularly with respect to commitments of/in duty and love in the midst of free grace. This move begins a re-assessment of the turn to “practical divinity” but also starts to rethink the nature of and relationship between “Quakerism” and “Anglicanism” before the religious and political settlements of 1660-62.
