Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elias Hicks (1748-1830) was a travelling Quaker minister from Long Island, New York. A farmer's son, he was a carpenter by trade and in his early 20s became a Quaker like his father. In 1771 he married fellow Quaker Jemima Seaman at the Westbury Meeting House with whom he had 11 children, only five of whom survived to adulthood. Hicks eventually became a farmer too, settling on his wife's parents' farm in Jericho, NY. In 1778 he helped build the Friends meeting house in Jericho and that year he was acknowledged as a recorded minister. He was regarded as a gifted speaker who drew large crowds, sometimes in the thousands. Hicks was one of the early Quaker abolitionists and the Quakers at Westbury Meeting were among the first in New York to free their slaves. He was also the founder of a charity established to give aid to local poor African Americans and provide their children with an education. In 1794 Hicks wrote Observations on the Slavery of Africans and Their Descendents in which he linked the moral issue of emancipation to the Quaker Peace Testimony by stating that slavery was the product of war. This work gave the free produce movement its central argument, promoting an embargo on all goods produced by slave labor, mainly cotton and sugar cane, in favour of produce from the paid labor of free people. Hicks believed obedience to the Inner Light to be the sole rule of faith and the foundational principle of Christianity and his promotion of unorthodix doctrines caused the first major schism within the Religious Society of Friends, with prominent English evangelical Friends travelling to New York in the 1820s to denounce his views. The eventual division between Hicksites and the Orthodox Friends in the US was long-lasting and a full reconciliation took decades to achieve. The final entry in Hicks's journal recording his eventful life was made little more than two months before his death in February 1830 and the memoir was published posthumously in 1832.

Book excerpt: For 175 years, the prevailing image of Elias Hicks has been a false one. His opponents in the Religious Society of Friends have successfully misrepresented him as denying Christ and the Scriptures. In his last year of life, Hicks reluctantly penned a reply to these charges, recounting in his journal how God had ordered his life. But the published journal was edited into a bland portrayal of one of the most dynamic figures in Quaker history. Paul Buckley has meticulously compiled a new edition of "The Journal of Elias Hicks" from the original manuscripts--most in Hicks' own handwriting-- that restores more than 100 pages of missing material.--Publisher's description.

Download or read book The Essential Elias Hicks written by Paul Buckley and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1828, Elias Hicks was the best-known Quaker in the United States. He was a deep and original religious thinker, a commanding and compelling preacher, and though eighty years old, still a faithful traveling minister. Whenever God said, "Go " he went. If he is remembered at all today, it is for his role in the most traumatic events in the history of the Religious Society of Friends - a series of separations that split American Quakers into two hostile camps - one of which came to be called Hicksite. Over the years, his memory has been lost to stories told by his friends and his opponents. Much of what people believe about him is false. The truth is, Elias Hicks was a minister, a mystic, a farmer, an environmentalist, an abolitionist, a father and a husband. This book aims to reveal the real Elias Hicks and his understanding of what it means to be a Quaker. Elias Hicks has much to say to Friends today. Paul Buckley is a Quaker historian and theologian, well-known among Friends of all stripes for his workshops, short courses, and retreats. He has written books on William Penn and Elias Hicks, and the Lord's Prayer; and co-edited The Quaker Bible Reader.

Book excerpt: In the course of his life, Elias Hicks (1748-1830) penned hundreds of letters, while writing only one book. The Journal of Elias Hicks is a record of service to the Religious Society of Friends, revealing a man repeatedly called by God to travel among and minister to Quakers in North America. In the Journal, he describes the hundreds of Quaker meetings he visited, scores of public meetings he conducted, and gives some account of his life as a Long Island farmer.Complementing the framework in the Journal, Hicks' letters flesh out details of his life and his beliefs. They reveal a thoughtful man of deep devotion - a man devoted to his wife and family, to his neighbors and friends, to the Religious Society of Friends, but more than anything else, a man simply, humbly, and steadfastly devoted to God.Some of his letters recount the trials of a traveling minister in the early 19th century. Others lay out his understanding of what it means to live faithfully as a Quaker in those times of conflict and change. Most controversially, some put forward his theological beliefs and the scriptural basis for them.Paul Buckley has compiled and transcribed a selection of Elias Hicks' letters and essays from the original manuscripts. To assist the reader, he has added footnotes and scriptural citations to the text, as well as appendices explaining Quaker terms and structures, definitions of archaic and unfamiliar words and phrases, and biographical sketches.This is a book for anyone who cares about the Society of Friends and wonders how it became what it is today.
