Özet, vb.
"The Quaker World is an outstanding, comprehensive and lively introduction to this complex Christian denomination. Exploring the global reach of the Quaker community, the book begins with a discussion of the living community, as it is now, in all its diversity and complexity. The book covers well-known areas of Quaker development such as the formation of Liberal Quakerism in North America, alongside topics which have received much less scholarly attention in the past, such as the history of Quakers in Bolivia and the spread of Quakerism in Western Kenya. It includes over sixty chapters by a distinguished international and interdisciplinary team of contributors and is organised into three clear parts: Global Quakerism Spirituality Embodiment. Within these sections, key themes are examined including: the global Quaker mission; significant Quaker movements; key religious figures; important organisations; pacifism; politics; the abolition of slavery; education; science; industry; human rights; racism; refugees; gender; disability; and environmentalism. The Quaker World provides an authoritative and accessible source of information on all topics important to Quaker studies. As such, it is essential reading for students studying world religions, Christianity and comparative religion, and it will also be of interest to those in related fields such as sociology, political science, anthropology and ethics"-- Provided by publisher.
