Book Synopsis
Shows how Quakers forged a paradoxical sense of their place in the world as militant warriors fighting for peace. The author argues that during the turbulent Age of Revolution and Reaction, the Religious Society of Friends forged a holy nation, a transnational community of like-minded believers committed to divine law and to one another.

Trade Review
"Crabtree has presented a strong and compelling history of the Quaker challenge to emergent nationalism during the Age of Revolutions. Well-grounded theoretically and smoothly written, Holy Nation is highly intriguing, is deeply researched, and offers a creative and important intervention in the fields of religious and Atlantic history." (Katherine Carte Engel, Southern Methodist University)
