Margaret Fell and the End of Time

An unprecedented interpretation of Fell as a theological thinker. Sally Bruyneel highlights both Fell's departures from Protestant and Reformed theology. This is a significant project.

This book finally brings to the fore the highly significant theological contribution of Margaret Fell to the early Quaker movement. It is a gift of fine scholarship for all those interested in Quaker theological identity.

~Ben Pink Dandelion, Honorary Professor in Quaker Studies, University of Birmingham

This book puts Margaret Fell onto the map of scholarship as a sophisticated and innovative thinker. Engaging the primary material that has previously been neglected by scholars, Sally Bruyneel makes Fell's work accessible to scholars interested in Quaker traditions, women's history, and the history of Christian thought.

Illuminating. Bruyneel establishes the coherence of Margaret Fell's thinking and her importance in Quaker history while bringing new light to her still pertinent criticisms of ecclesiastical institutions and those who represent them: 'Realized' eschatology, mission to the Jews, the changing position of women, and the development of Quaker peace testimony—all of which remain pertinent topics in present-day theology.
