George Fox's Book of Miracles

Many people have heard of George Fox (1624-1691), founder of the Religious Society of Friends, and some have read his Journal but few people know of his ‘Book of Miracles’. Fox was a healer as well as a minister and author, manifesting God’s wondrous power in over 150 recorded instances of cures. These miracles were critical in spreading the word about Quakerism in the initial years. Although Fox left money for its publication after his death, the manuscript of the ‘Book of Miracles’ was lost. The first printing in 1948 was the result of years of work by Henry Cadbury, piecing the text together from clues and fragments in Fox’s journals and letters. The 1948 and the 1973 editions were limited and quickly went out of print. Quakers Uniting in Publications, in its first joint venture, makes this historically important and spiritually significant text accessible to the modern audience. This new edition, faithfully based on the work of Cadbury, includes new forewords by Jim Pym and Paul Anderson. Making the ‘Book of Miracles’ available gives the reader a new and more complete understanding of George Fox’s contribution to Quakerism.
