Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars continue to dispute the foundations of Quakerism. James Nayler, his prophetic Bristol 'sign' of 1656, and George Fox's relation to him have been of especial interest in defining the movement's identity. Conventionally, historians and theologians have taken either a 'traditional' approach, which assesses Nayler by the standards of orthodoxy, or a 'revisionist' one, which absolves him by the standards of early Quaker relativism and Christology. This study by Euan David McArthur mediates between these positions, finding that Nayler and Fox developed an ambiguous theology, but adopted a consistent approach to Quaker performances. The latter dissuaded against performances such as Nayler's 'sign'; Nayler is argued, instead, to have diverged from other Quaker leaders following disputations between 1655 and 1656. The lessons his person and actions hold for us are concluded to be complex, but worthy of study for a wide range of historians and thinkers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vera Massey offers a compelling, sometimes inventive, perspective on James Nayler's ministry before and after his trial and conviction for blasphemy by the British Parliament.

In this new biography of Nayler, Vera Massey adds her own sense of character and drama to draw the reader into this fertile time of Quaker history -- the friendships, the falling-outs, the sacrifices, and the courage -- of the men and women who gave birth to the Religious Society of Friends.With Sessions Book Trust
Book Synopsis The Quakers in America by : Thomas D. Hamm
Download or read book The Quakers in America written by Thomas D. Hamm and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Quakers in America is a multifaceted history of the Religious Society of Friends and a fascinating study of its culture and controversies today. Lively vignettes of Conservative, Evangelical, Friends General Conference, and Friends United meetings illuminate basic Quaker theology and reflect the group's diversity while also highlighting the fundamental unity within the religion. Quaker culture encompasses a rich tradition of practice even as believers continue to debate whether Quakerism is necessarily Christian, where religious authority should reside, how one transmits faith to children, and how gender and sexuality shape religious belief and behavior. Praised for its rich insight and wide-ranging perspective, The Quakers in America is a penetrating account of an influential, vibrant, and often misunderstood religious sect. Known best for their long-standing commitment to social activism, pacifism, fair treatment for Native Americans, and equality for women, the Quakers have influenced American thought and society far out of proportion to their relatively small numbers. Whether in the foreign policy arena (the American Friends Service Committee), in education (the Friends schools), or in the arts (prominent Quakers profiled in this book include James Turrell, Bonnie Raitt, and James Michener), Quakers have left a lasting imprint on American life. This multifaceted book is a concise history of the Religious Society of Friends; an introduction to its beliefs and practices; and a vivid picture of the culture and controversies of the Friends today. The book opens with lively vignettes of Conservative, Evangelical, Friends General Conference, and Friends United meetings that illuminate basic Quaker concepts and theology and reflect the group's diversity in the wake of the sectarian splintering of the nineteenth century. Yet the book also examines commonalities among American Friends that demonstrate a fundamental unity within the religion: their commitments to worship, the ministry of all believers, decision making based on seeking spiritual consensus rather than voting, a simple lifestyle, and education. Thomas Hamm shows that Quaker culture encompasses a rich tradition of practice even as believers continue to debate a number of central questions: Is Quakerism necessarily Christian? Where should religious authority reside? Is the self sacred? How does one transmit faith to children? How do gender and sexuality shape religious belief and behavior? Hamm's analysis of these debates reveals a vital religion that prizes both unity and diversity.
Book Synopsis The Creation of Quaker Theory by : Pink Dandelion
Download or read book The Creation of Quaker Theory written by Pink Dandelion and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last forty years has witnessed a 'golden age' of Quaker Studies scholarship, with the bulk of this work into the history and sociology of Quakerism being undertaken by scholars who are also Quakers. For the scholars involved, their Quakerism has both prompted their research interests and affected their lives as Quakers. This book presents a unique study into Quakerism: it draws together the key theories of Quaker origins, subsequent history, and contemporary sociology, into a single volume; and it allows each of the contributors the opportunity to reflect on what led to the initial choice of research topic, and how their findings have in turn affected their Quaker lives. The result is a unique contribution to Quaker theory as well to the discussion on insider/outsider research. This book is invaluable to anyone interested in Quakerism, research into religion, notions of outsider objectivity within academia, and areas of theology, religious history and sociology in general.

Book Synopsis The Beginnings of Quakerism by : William Charles Braithwaite
Download or read book The Beginnings of Quakerism written by William Charles Braithwaite and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Quaker religion, properly called the Society of Friends, began in Westmoreland in northwest England in the mid-1600s, when George Fox and several others including William Dewsbury, James Nayler, Francis Howgill and Edward Burrough traced their inspiration and their constructive ideas to direct divine "openings" through which they believed they were being led by God. Because this book covers only up to the end of 1660, it is a very detailed study of the early history of Quakerism. The book explains background influences which led to the formation of the new religion, then shows us the beginning of its growth, in which its members were persecuted and jailed, in England, Europe and America, with some followers paying with their lives. Quakerism did not exclude women, some of whom felt called to the ministry. Some followers showed dramatic fits of trembling (hence the term Quaker) while others manifested their convictions in other ways. William Simpson of Lancaster "went three years naked and in sackcloth in the days of Oliver and his Parliament, as a sign to them and to the priests showing how God would strip them of their power..." Many of the followers called themselves "seekers" or "publishers of the truth." The book also includes four excellent maps of parts of Britain which cradled this religion. While we have all heard about the Quaker religion, there are few people whose understanding would not be greatly broadened by this informative work.

Book Synopsis The Heart of Friends by : Glenn Leppert
Download or read book The Heart of Friends written by Glenn Leppert and published by . This book was released on 2020-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) began as a Christian movement, and even though their positive impact on culture and society was quite significant, relative to their size, there is very little public awareness of Quakerism today. Little is known of historical contributions of the Friends movement, and even less is known about the Christian beliefs that drove those actions. This book seeks to fill this gap in awareness, by providing an accessible introduction to Quaker history and beliefs from an evangelical Christan perspective. Academically rigorous and historically comprehensive, while still an accessible and entertaining read, it is a must-have for scholars, pastors, students, or anyone else seeking to understand the Christian foundation and heartbeat of Quakerism.
