Thomas Story
Thomas Story
Thomas Story (1662-1742) was an extremely gifted and serviceable minister in the Society of Friends, who traveled all over England, Ireland, Scotland, Holland, Jamaica, Barbados, and the American colonies in his service for the gospel. He was well-known for both his spiritual depth and his intellectual genius. His clear perception of spiritual truth, profound knowledge of Scripture, and facility of expression made him more than a match for the enemies of truth who attempted to slander and oppose the teachings of early Friends. The many compelling doctrinal arguments found in his journal became very influential among Quakers, and will still be read with great benefit by every genuine seeker of truth.
But, as the diadem of all, and the only true and certain way, when it pleased the Most High (by the effusion of His own goodness) to reveal in me the Son of His love, even His wisdom and power, by whom He designed and effected all things, then I was taught to fear Him; then I was taught to love him; then, and not rightly till then, was my soul instructed and informed indeed.
