Job Scott (October 18, 1751 Providence, Rhode Island - November 22, 1793 Ballitore, Ireland) was a Quaker traveling minister and a prominent American quietist. His religious philosophy had a deep, shaping influence on the Religious Society of Friends and contributed to the first schism within Quakerism, the 1827 Hicksite-Orthodox split. ==Biography== Scott’s parents were John and Lydia Scott. As a young man he indulged in ‘music, gaming and pleasure’ but at the age of 19, by ‘illumination and openings of divine light in my mind’ he became a devout Quaker, attending Smithfield Meeting House. In 1773, Scott and his wife boarded at Elmgrove, the home of Moses Brown, the co-founder of Brown University. Scott taught school in the Quaker meeting house in Providence and tutored Brown’s children. Through Scott's friendship and example, Moses Brown became a Quaker in 1774. Scott moved to Springfield, Massachusetts, during the American Revolution and became a recognized traveling Quaker minister, sponsored in his work by Brown. He traveled widely from Vermont to Georgia in his ministry and visited the Nicholite communities, the ‘New Quakers’, in Maryland and North Carolina in 1789 and 1790. During the Revolutionary War, Scott was an active war tax resister. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Job Scott」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
