The Practical Importance of Faith in the Deity of Christ is a tract by Joseph John Gurney (1788-1847), the Norwich banker who was the leading evangelical Quaker minister of his age and brother of the prison reformer Elizabeth Fry. Gurney’s preaching tours and writings reshaped American Quakerism, where the evangelical branch took the name Gurneyite from him. The tract argues the doctrinal theme that divided Friends throughout his ministry. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
