Book excerpt: Rufus Jones (1863-1948) helped organize the Quäkerspeisung (Quaker feeding effort), saving millions from starvation after the First World War. In Germany he is best known for having travelled to Berlin to seek a personal meeting with Hitler after the Kristallnacht in 1938. And, at the conclusion of a long life devoted to service, it was largely due to Jones that the American Friends Service Committee was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1947. But Jones was also the quintessential «American scholar», seeking to harmonize theory and practice. He was a pivotal figure of the 20th century who stayed in close touch with authors and statesmen the world over. He earned a reputation as a modern mystic and an active pacifist, and was regarded as the moral conscience of his era. His scholarship encompassed education and pedagogy, philosophical questions, church and Quaker history, as well as the political issues of the day. Jones dealt with such issues as justice, democracy, and child-rearing. His ideas are still alive today and still arouse controversy. He was particularly anxious to avoid the cultivation of an elite, pleading instead for individual growth and personality development. Over the course of his life, he was awarded twelve academic titles, taught at numerous universities, delivered countless lectures, and was one of the first theologians to recognise the significance of radio and to make full use of it. To this day Rufus Jones is still honored as a «seer», «Protestant mystic», and even as a «Master Quaker» and «Quaker Giant». It is time also to take a critical look at these honors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps no religious group enjoys such wholehearted esteem as the Society of Friends. Ever since their founding, the Quakers have proved a stimulating and inspiriting force in the Christian Church. Standing for Jesus’ program for world peace, practicing non-resistance, and performing miracles of mercy and relief in a world of hatred, they have achieved a position almost unique in Christendom. Their astonishing history is here told by one who is of all men most fitted for the task—Dr. Rufus M. Jones, one of the founders of the American Friends Service Committee and one of the most influential Quakers of the 20th century.

Download or read book St. Paul the Hero written by Rufus Matthew Jones and published by Dawn Chorus Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rufus Matthew Jones, the great American Quaker philosopher, was born in South China, Maine, in 1863. He received his B.A. degree from Haverford College in 1885, an A.M. in 1886, and an LL.D. in 1922. From 1917 to 1927, and again from 1934 to 1944, he was chairman of the American Friends Service Committee for European Relief which was founded in 1917 largely through his efforts. He was serving as honorary chairman in 1947 when the Committee was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.; He is the author of a large number of works, predominantly on mysticism. He died in 1948 at Haverford. St Paul the Hero was one of Rufus Jones' few excursions into children's literature, but it was received with great acclaim, and we can only be sorry that he did not continue in this genre. It tells in a thrilling narrative the story of Saul who became St Paul, combined with intimations of the deep inner level of understanding that characterizes the many works on mysticism for which Rufus Jones is most well known.
