| Итог: | During the rapid expansion of Quakerism in England in the 1650s, allegations were made by several ministers of the Reformed church that early Quaker doctrines resembled those of Roman Catholicism. Some modern commentators have noted that these allegations were not baseless. The object of this article is to investigate the extent to which such allegations were justified. This is accomplished by comparing early Quaker beliefs with Roman Catholic doctrines on the topics of light or grace; imputed justification; inherent righteousness; perfection; the priority of the Spirit over Scripture; sacraments; and revelations and immediate call. It is concluded that despite the obvious antipathy of early Quakers to the Roman Catholic church, there was a similarity in their soteriology due to a shared apprehension of the divine within believers. |
