The Sandy Foundation Shaken: To Which Is Added, Innocency with Her Open Face, by Way of Apology (1827) - Paperback

The Sandy Foundation Shaken is a book written by William Penn, originally published in 1668. The book is an attack on the doctrines of the Church of England, particularly on the idea of the Trinity. Penn argues that this doctrine is irrational and unscriptural. The book was controversial at the time of its publication and led to Penn's imprisonment for blasphemy. The 1827 edition of the book includes an additional work by Penn, Innocency With Her Open Face, which is a defense of Quakerism. In this work, Penn argues that Quaker beliefs and practices are consistent with the teachings of the Bible and that Quakers are not a threat to society, as some have claimed. Overall, The Sandy Foundation Shaken and Innocency With Her Open Face provide insight into the religious debates of the 17th century and the Quaker movement. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the early days of Quakerism and the challenges faced by those who challenged the established religious order.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
