In his long struggle for "fullness of Life", Isaac Penington produced some of the most profund spiritual counsel in Quaker literature. Part I is his life in historical context through letters from manuscript, and Part II presents his spirituality and thought with extracts from published works. With extensive commentary in each part, this book makes Penington accessible in the 21st century to readers interested in the spiritual discoveries of early Quakers.
