false 2237189 1 The Quakers are a fascinating religious group both in their origins and in the variety of reinterpretations of the faith since. Emerging from the social unrest of the English civil war, the Quakers have gone on to have an influence way beyond their numbers: be it their continued stance against war or their pioneering work against slavery. At the same time, Quakers maintain a distinctive worship method to achieve the direct encounter with God which has been at the heart of the movement since its beginning. This book charts the history of Quakerism and its present-day diversity, and outlines its approach to worship, belief, theology and language, and ecumenism. 2243035 20 3 2008 The Quakers: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) total:6|5:1|4:0|3:4|2:1|1:0| 6 19 16 3 2 0 false false Mon May 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 22:04:03 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 09:56:20 -0700 2009 this book claims to be a short introduction...more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Feb 22 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 19:19:26 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 22 15:56:21 -0800 2009 1
