John Punshon has been one of the premier Quaker historians and spokes-persons over the last four decades. Serving as Quaker Tutor at Woodbrooke, Visiting Professor of Quaker Studies at George Fox University, and the first Geraldine Leatherock Chair of Quaker Studies at the Earlham School of Religion, John Punshon has contributed greatly to present historical and theological understandings of the Quaker movement, and he will be greatly missed. From his childhood experiences in a local church whilst living with his grandparents during the War to his education at Oxford, his public and political service and his development into a leading interpreter of Quaker history, faith, and practice, his own reflections, shared at Milton Keynes Friends Meeting in 2003, provide a basis for understanding the origins of his thought and convictions as represented more extensively in his writings and spoken ministries. He will be greatly missed, but his contributions extend beyond the boundaries of space and time.

This paper reviews the four main publications in which John Punshon explores aspects of Quaker theology and spirituality. It seeks to outline the key themes addressed in these writings, to identify enduring preoccupations, to track changes of emphasis over time and to assess Punshon’s contribution to the development and dissemination of Quaker thought.

Might cognitive impairment, being an ‘idiot’, disqualify you from ‘belonging’ as a Quaker, in an age before membership? What was idiocy in seventeenth-century terms and, as the Age of Reason dawned, where would the idiot have stood among Friends? These and other questions come to mind from study of a case in the Court of Chancery in the early 1680s. It concerned land and property in Glamorgan and the son of a notable dissenter. The case brings into fresh focus some well-known seventeenth-century Quaker names, filling gaps in the known biography about them. Above all, it sheds light on an individual about whom Friends’ records are silent, though he was part of a family of Quaker activists.

John Punshon once proposed that someone should undertake a comparison of early Quaker George Fox with ancient North African bishop Augustine of Hippo. Despite considerable differences between the two, a close look at turning points in their religious autobiographies shows common themes, particularly a Johannine sense of interiority and divine love. These turning points operated differently in their lives: for George Fox, it enabled him to embrace others whose unrighteousness had repulsed him, while, for Augustine, it enabled him to relax his terrified grip on those whom he loved.

Gerrard Winstanley, the seventeenth-century English leader of the True Levellers, as they called themselves, a Dissenter group better known as the Diggers, and Inazo Nitobe, co-founder of the nineteenth-century Sapporo Band in Japan and Under-Secretary-General of the League of Nations, were both involved in founding indigenous Christian movements but ultimately joined the Religious Society of Friends. Their views about agricultural ecology, personal financial troubles and ethical commitments led them to Quakerism. Each believed there was no separation of the ethical, spiritual and secular within the experience of nature and ecological cultivation, and shared a commitment to earthcare, sustainable farming, non-violence and ethical living.
