"Three Apostles of Quakerism: Popular Sketches of Fox, Penn and Barclay" by Benjamin Rhodes is a late 1800s biographical piece spotlighting George Fox, William Penn, and Robert Barclay, three important people in the beginnings of the Quaker religion. With heartfelt admiration, the author aims to make the history of the religion more well-known, focusing on the actions and beliefs of these original proponents. It paints Fox as a passionate preacher who had to contend with personal suffering as he worked to spread his beliefs. Penn is highlighted for his skill in dealing with political leaders, specifically when he founded Pennsylvania. Each man's story emphasizes a rejection of traditional religious practices, and instead advocates for a direct connection with God and how they shaped the Society of Friends with their distinct approaches.
