The Roots of the Quaker Way
30 January - 12 March 2023, Online
What are the religious roots of the Quaker way? How were early Friends influenced by their religious context? This course will explore the connections between Quakers and other radical religious groups from the Middle Ages to the English Revolution.
By studying popular piety in the late medieval period, and radical groups during the Reformation, and in 17th century England, the material in this course will give you a deeper understanding of the radical religious milieu out of which the Quaker movement emerged.
We will look at religious groups and movements such as the Rhineland Mystics, the Beguines, the Anabaptists, the Radical Spiritualists, the English Baptists, the Family of Love, the Radical Puritans, the Levellers, the Diggers and the Ranters.
The date range given above for the course is when the online content and discussion forum are live; you can work on this material at any time to suit you. The live Zoom sessions are at 19:00-20:00 (UK time) fortnightly on Thursdays during this period, beginning on 9 February.
