Abstract

Excerpt: "Robert Barclay is most widely known for writing the Apology for the True Christian Divinity (1676 in Latin; 1678 in English). But this was not his first important Quaker work. A Catechism and Con fission of Faith was written in 1673, about seven years after his "convincement" of the truth, and when he was only 24 years old."
