Dear Friend Letters & Essays of Elias Hicks by Elias Hicks, edited by Paul Buckley
Elias Hicks penned hundreds of letters. They complement his Journal, fleshing out details of his life and beliefs, revealing a man devoted to his family, neighbors and friends, to the 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. Most controversially, some put forward his theological beliefs and the scriptural basis for them. Footnotes and appendices explain archaic and unfamiliar terms, and include biographical sketches.

The Journal of Elias Hicks edited by Paul Buckley
In this new edition, The Journal of Elias Hicks is published as it was written. Paul Buckley has meticulously compiled a new edition from the original manuscripts restoring more than 100 pages of missing material. For 175 years, the prevailing image of Elias Hicks has been a false one. His opponents have successfully misrepresented him as denying Christ and the scriptures. Here we find a fuller and more nuanced depiction of the faith and practice of this historic Quaker minister who found himself at the center of controversy in the early nineteenth century.
