Download or read book Quakers Reading Mystics written by Michael Birkel and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the centuries, Quakers have read non-Quakers regarded as mystics. This study explores the reception of mystical texts among the Religious Society of Friends, focusing in particular on Robert Barclay and John Cassian, Sarah Lynes Grubb and Jeanne Guyon, Caroline Stephen and Johannes Tauler, Rufus Jones and Jacob Boehme, and Teresina Havens and Buddhist texts selected by her. Points of connection include the nature of apophatic prayer, suffering and annihilation of self, mysticisms of knowing and of loving, liberal Protestant attitudes toward theosophical systems, and interfaith encounter.
Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of the Friends (Quakers) by : Margery Post Abbott
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Friends (Quakers) written by Margery Post Abbott and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern reputation of Friends in the United States and Europe is grounded in the relief work they have conducted in the presence and aftermath of war. Friends (also known as Quakers) have coordinated the feeding and evacuation of children from war zones around the world. They have helped displaced persons without regard to politics. They have engaged in the relief of suffering in places as far-flung as Ireland, France, Germany, Ethiopia, Egypt, China, and India. Their work was acknowledged with the award of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1947 to the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and the Friends Service Council of Great Britain. More often, however, Quakers live, worship, and work quietly, without seeking public attention for themselves. Now, the Friends are a truly worldwide body and are recognized by their Christ-centered message of integrity and simplicity, as well as their nonviolent stance and affirmation of the belief that all people--women as well as men--may be called to the ministry. The expanded second edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Friends (Quakers) relates the history of the Friends through a chronology, an introductory essay, an extensive bibliography, and over 700 cross-referenced dictionary entries on concepts, significant figures, places, activities, and periods. This book is an excellent access point for scholars and students, who will find the overviews and sources for further research provided by this book to be enormously helpful.

Download or read book John Venn written by Lukas M. Verburgt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-04-08 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive history of John Venn’s life and work. John Venn (1834–1923) is remembered today as the inventor of the famous Venn diagram. The postmortem fame of the diagram has until now eclipsed Venn’s own status as one of the most accomplished logicians of his day. Praised by John Stuart Mill as a “highly successful thinker” with much “power of original thought,” Venn had a profound influence on nineteenth-century scientists and philosophers, ranging from Mill and Francis Galton to Lewis Carroll and Charles Sanders Peirce. Venn was heir to a clerical Evangelical dynasty, but religious doubts led him to resign Holy Orders and instead focus on an academic career. He wrote influential textbooks on probability theory and logic, became a fellow of the Royal Society, and advocated alongside Henry Sidgwick for educational reform, including that of women’s higher education. Moreover, through his students, a direct line can be traced from Venn to the early analytic philosophy of G. E. Moore and Bertrand Russell, and family ties connect him to the famous Bloomsbury group. This essential book takes readers on Venn’s journey from Evangelical son to Cambridge don to explore his life and work in context. Drawing on Venn’s key writings and correspondence, published and unpublished, Lukas M. Verburgt unearths the legacy of the logician’s wide-ranging thinking while offering perspective on broader themes in religion, science, and the university in Victorian Britain. The rich picture that emerges of Venn, the person, is of a man with many sympathies—sometimes mutually reinforcing and at other times outwardly and inwardly contradictory.

Download or read book The Absent Father written by Perry Meisel and published by New Haven : Yale University Press. This book was released on 1980 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies of Virginia Woolf's career have increasingly presented her fiction as autobiographical fable. This book returns to the literary career and treats generic questions raised by the novels themselves. Maria DiBattista centers her study on the nature of narrative voice and narrative authority in the novels, arguing that Woolf surmounts the modernist crisis of subjectivity by adopting as a model of literary identity the voice of 'Anon, ' the communal poet. Woolf's theoretical writing and her unpublished essay on 'Anon' record her interest in developing techniques of nonegotistical, anonymous narration, her growing indebtedness to the Shakespearean voice of the comic romances, her implicit critique of conventional narrative omniscience, and her crucial discrimination between authoritative and authoritarian fictions.
