Quaker Spirituality In Historical And Philosophical Context

BY LESLIE STEVENSON
This book is about "the meaning of life" or "the spiritual quest". It offers a selective and critical evaluation of some central strands of Western religious and philosophical thought over two and a half thousand years. It starts with Socrates' philosophy of life, and the Greek tradition of philosophy that he initiated. It gives its own "take" on the teaching of Jesus, and on the long and controversial history of Christianity. There is a chapter devoted to George Fox and the beginning of the Quaker movement. It recommends a non-literal interpretation of language about God, with some reference to Austin Farrer on "poetic truth". Sadly a tad expensive!
