This is a fascinating book for anyone interested in either Quaker history or in healing. It reconstructs a book about the healing ministry of George Fox, 17th century founder of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Fox was a powerful healer, and not afraid to make claims about it. A later generation of Friends found these claims embarassing, and removed many of them from the literature. The Book of Miracles was in large part destroyed, and Henry Cadbury, a biblical scholar, painstakingly reconstructed what he could from an index of the book and other writings about the healings reported in it.
