Margaret Fell And The End Of Time

The Theology Of The Mother Of Quakerism

BY SALLY BRUYNEEL
This book unusually looks at Margaret Fell as a religious author or theologian in her own right. Sally Bruyneel systematically analyzes Fell's writings on both Quaker and orthodox Christian subjects, ranging from the Inward Light to eschatology to the Trinity. In doing so she demonstrates that Fell was deeply influenced by Biblical apocalyptic literature and the strong eschatological expectations of her time, which became central to her work with the Jews, for her defense of the spirituality equality of women, and for her promotion of the Quaker testimony of peace.

Early Zimbabwe

Memoir Of A Quaker At Home In A Jesuit Mission

BY DYCK W. VERMILYE
Dyck Vermilye first arrives in Harrare, then called Salisbury, back in 1980, making contact with the local Quakers, as well meeting in a local bar a very racist white ex infantryman, Grant, who continually reappears in his life, often in surprising circumstances. The book details his subsequent return to Africa and his work within a Jesuit training center, Silviera House, just outside the city. A fascinating life and a glimpse into a small Quaker world (and a jesuit one as well) in a most troubled country.
