Apocalypse Of The Word

BY DOUGLAS GWYN
Gwyn emphasizes the apocalyptic perspective behind George Fox's declaration that "Christ has come to teach his people himself" and describes how it affected Fox's view of preaching, worship and Church order. This work helps explain the urgency of the message that sparked the early Quaker movement. "This highly readable work develops the religious thought of George Fox in new and fresh ways and constitutes a major contribution to early Quaker research." - Dean Freiday.

The Covenant Crucified

Quakerism And The Rise Of Capitalism

BY DOUGLAS GWYN
Doug Gwyn has researched and written extensively on early Quakers in 17th-century England. The Covenant Crucified combines the scholarly and prophetic to compare "covenant":- uniting people under the care of a transcendent God, and "contract":- uniting them primarily through secular visions of self-interest. "This book is critical to our understanding of early Friends and how the movement changed during the first decades. He outlines the distinctive nature of the Quaker "Covenant of Light", and how that was transformed within a generation into a more worldly contractual understanding. It is also a call to Quakers today to recover a sense of covenant for the journey ahead." - Ben Pink Dandelion

Language Process Notes

Using Words To Get Beyond Words

BY HARBERT RICE
Harbert Rice, former Clerk of Reno Meeting and a practitioner of Nonviolent Communication, has facilitated AVP workshops in Nevada prisons. He has also led "Experiment with Light" groups and is familiar with Gendlin's Focusing that Rex Ambler found so influential in forming Light Groups. Here he brings all these practices and insights together to show how each group uses an experiential language process, and that we can gain a further understanding of personal change and transformation by the cross fertilization of these practices that "use words (or their Absence) to get beyond words." Quaker experience, especially related to George Fox, is a major part of the book.
