D. Elton Trueblood depicts the Quaker experiment in radical Christianity and presents the Quaker faith as a live option for contemporary men and women. The People Called Quakers, a Quaker classic, has enduring value as his vision of what Quakerism has been, is, and can be.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
