The Quakers are a fascinating religious group both in their origins and in the variety of reinterpretations of the faith since. Emerging from the social unrest of the English civil war, the Quakers have gone on to have an influence way beyond their numbers: be it their continued stance against war or their pioneering work against slavery. At the same time, Quakers maintain a distinctive worship method to achieve the direct encounter with God which has been at the heart of the movement since its beginning. This book charts the history of Quakerism and its present-day diversity, and outlines its approach to worship, belief, theology and language, and ecumenism.

The complexity within ‘simple’ Quakers~ historically, within the USA, and its three main branches, the world. Early Quaker heroes and martyers-speak truth to power Pope and get hung next morning.

Interessante leitura introdutória a respeito dos quakers, principalmente devido a ausência de material a respeito em português. Autor honesto, oferece não apenas uma visão idealizada a respeito dos quakers.

très complet

Concis et très fouillé. Excellente bibliographie. Mon exemplaire est malheureusement défectueux, une partie des pages est brochée à l'envers, tête en bas, et donc progression de lecture à l'envers du livre... Ca arrive!

Very Good and Informative
2019年2月22日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I've been interested in Quakers for a while now since someone who I admire said that they're a Quaker and I wanted to know more about it. Since then, I've wondered if this is something that I want to be a part of, and this was a great place to start. It was really informative with everything I needed to know.

Introducing the Quakers – their past, present and possible future
2015年1月5日にドイツでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This book covers the Quakers, including their historical origins in the 17th century, their modern developments, and also a little outlook on „The future of Quakerism“. The „Society of Friends“ is probably most visible as pacifists, and was awarded a Nobel Prize for Peace in 1947 for this commitment.
The book points to four main characteristics uniting Quakers: direct encounter with the divine and revelation over scripture and teaching, corporate direct guidance and resulting vote-less decisioning, spiritual equality, and preference for peace and pacifism (p. 2/ 118).
Particular attention is given to their interpretation of worship, belief, and „theology“. Quakers originally identified as the „true Church“ (p. 10), and the more recent differences in positions found within the Quakers are perplexing, as the group has differentiated into an evangelical, conservative, and liberal branch which have made specific positions their own (e. g. on priesthood, scripture, worship etc). The chapter on theology highlights the common importance of silence for Quakers and the recognised limitations of language as a vehicle for trancendental truth. Abstinence from a dogmatic theology grounds in this central insights.
A summary table comparing the different stances of evangelical, conservative, and liberal Quakers makes it easier to keep up with the analysis of these groups through the main text. One interestingly ambiguous aspect is the interpretation of Quakers by themselves either as a form of protestantism, or as a third stream of Christianity apart from Catholicism and Protestantism. Yet within Liberal Quakerism, a theistic or Christian position is not even mandatory. As a result, it becomes pretty hard to pin down what „defines“ Quakers and Quakerism. The text lets citations from original text sources speak and also draws analytical summaries and statements, which are ultimately well balanced.
I picked this volume up to get an overview on Quakers after noticing how little I knew about them at the time. It is easy to read and to follow the arguments, and the summary table and time table help to get an overview. As a result, I learned much more about Quakerism than I actually expected. It seems hard to find a better introduction within similar page limits.
