Gerrard Winstanley And The Republic Of Heaven

BY DAVID BOULTON
Winstanley was the leader of the diggers in the English revolution, the author of twenty books and pamphlets in a four-year period. Whether he became a Quaker towards the end of his life is conjecture, but he was buried in a Quaker burial ground. Boulton looks at his life and work and his relevance in a post Christian world.

Godless For God's Sake

Nontheism In Contemporary Quakerism

EDITED BY DAVID BOULTON
In this new book edited by British Friend and author David Boulton, 27 Quakers from 4 countries and 13 yearly meetings tell how they combine active and committed membership in the Religious Society of Friends with rejection of traditional belief in the existence of a transcendent, personal and supernatural God.

Contributors include Robin Alpern, Philip Gross, Joan D Lucas, Os Cresson, James Riemermann, Sandy Parker, and David Rush.

Real Like The Daisies Or Real Like I Love You

Essays In Radical Quakerism

BY DAVID BOULTON
What do we mean by "God" in the 21st century? If we say God is "real," do we mean the reality of things that have an independent existence, like daisies, or the reality of wholly human values like love, compassion, beauty and justice? These are the questions tackled in the title essay in this collection, the first of 15 articles which seek to make a contribution to the exploration of radical Quaker and religious humanist ideas. David Boulton discusses such diverse issues as mysticism and mystification, the historical Jesus, and the nature of religious experience.

The Trouble With God

Building The Republic Of Heaven

BY DAVID BOULTON
Millions of people living in the so-called Christian West long for a thoroughly modern, intellectually defensible, emotionally satisfying faith which will be unashamedly religious and spiritual in its commitment, but frankly secular in its relevance to this world and this age. Of such is the republic of heaven, according to the author.

Who On Earth Was Jesus?

The Modern Quest For The Jesus Of History

BY DAVID BOULTON
The first fully comprehensive account of the debate between modern scholars on the Jesus of history before he became the Christ of faith. David Boulton surveys all the major schools of historical Jesus scholarship in turn: the liberal Jesus Seminar, the conservative "New Questers" and the radical sceptics, covering over 30 experts. He lays out the sources, biblical, "heretical" and secular, taking in the most recent discoveries and explaining where historians agree and disagree in recovering a credible portrait of the man behind "the greatest story ever told."
