ISBN: 9780691618982 出版年：2015 页码：419 Endy, Melvin B Princeton University Press

William penn is justly famous for his part in the political development of colonial america. Yet he was also one of the leading quaker theologians of the seventeenth century and the most important translator of quaker religious thought into social and political reality, and his life and works cannot be fully understood without a knowledge of his religious hopes and ideals. Melvin endy goes beyond the political histories, biographies, and histories of quakerism to provide a comprehensive account of penn's religious thought, its influence on his political thought and activity, and the significance of his life and thought to the quaker movement.
