"Gleanings from the Works of George Fox" by Dorothy M. Richardson compiles the spiritual insights of George Fox, the originator of the Quaker movement. The compilation highlights themes such as intimate spirituality, individual testimony, and fairness in society. Richardson introduces Fox as a unique figure that blends both mysticism and practicality, who emphasized a direct connection with God and personal spiritual experiences. Richardson explains Fox’s focus on the "Inner Light," which reveals truth inside every person, providing a foundation for the stories and beliefs presented later. This sets the scene for grasping Fox’s radical religious ideas, particularly related to having a personal relationship with fairness for all.
