An inspiring and enlightening introduction to Quakerism, the second title in the Yale University Press The Spirit of . . .seriesWho are the Quakers, what do they believe, and what do they practice? The Religious Society of Friendsalso known as Quakersbelieves that everyone can have a direct experience of God. Quakers express this in a unique form of worship that inspires them to work for change in themselves and in the world. In The Spirit of the Quakers, Geoffrey Durham, himself a Friend, explains Quakerism through quotations from writings that cover 350 years, from the beginnings of the movement to the present day.Peace and equality are major themes in the book, but readers will also find thoughtprovoking passages on the importance of action for social change, the primacy of truth, the value of simplicity, the need for a sense of community, and much more. The quoted texts convey a powerful religious impulse, courage in the face of persecution, the warmth of human relationships, and dedicated perseverance in promoting just causes.The extended quotations have been carefully selected from wellknown Quakers such as George Fox, William Penn, John Greenleaf Whittier, Elizabeth Fry and John Woolman, as well as many contemporary Friends. Together with Geoffrey Durhams enlightening and sympathetic introductions to the texts, the extracts from these writers form an engaging, often moving guide to this accessible and openhearted religious faith.
