A Vivifying Spirit by Janet Moore Lindman
Explores changes in American Quakerism in the antebellum period, with particular attention to the beliefs and practices of Quakers in Pennsylvania's Delaware Valley.“Lindman’s pairing of textured descriptions of pious practices with accessible accounts of how the Society of Friends changed over time makes her book an excellent introduction to the history of Quakerism in 19th-century America, a study I would recommend students new to the field to consult first”
—Jay David Miller Reading Religion
“[This] book provides an intimate look at Quaker life during the antebellum period, which should be considered essential reading for scholars of the Religious Society of Friends.”
—Rob Perry Religious Studies Review
“Overall a meticulously researched study of American Quakerism spanning the antebellum era, it is a significant contribution to Quaker History, the development of the early Republic, religious studies, and women’s history, with attention to the role of Quaker female leadership in nineteenth-century social reform.”
—Emily Molesworth Teipe Catholic Historical Review
