Written by Charlotte Condia, George Fox’s A Catechism for Children 1660 follows the traditional question and answer format. Fox discusses many things in the book but principally it is an explanation of what he believes about the Light. His language is beautiful and poetic and he shares his passionate love of Christ the Light with the Reader. George Fox is an orthodox Christian with his faith grounded in the Bible. He believes that he is specially chosen by God, specially loved by Him; he believes that everyone else, is specially chosen and loved. A universalist, Fox believes that everyone may know God. A Universal God is One who pours out His Spirit on all men and women, young and old, rich and poor, with dark or light colored skin, so that all may know and worship Him. Fox uses universal, inclusive language: words like “all, everyone, people everywhere, company of people, citizen, every man and woman”, when he writes of those individuals whom God loves, and whom Christ died for.
