Elias Hicks was a minister, a mystic, a farmer, an environmentalist, an abolitionist, a father and a husband. This book aims to reveal the real Elias Hicks and his understanding of what it means to be a Quaker. Paul Buckley has rendered the Religious Society of Friends an immense service. I once read a book on Hicks written for children which basically said Hicks had been disowned by Orthodox Friends for being tolerant of young people marrying out (marrying non-Quakers). What a disservice to all. In addition to the many Journal entries and Letter snippets, Buckley oftens adds a paragraph he titles : "Things I Believe But Can't Prove." After having read every archived document and published histories of Hicks, it is not unreasonable the author comes to certain conclusions. I appreciated reading them. Buckley has attempted to distill all he read into a short, concise--as he put it--essential, compilation of what moved Hicks. Having read this slim volume, I feel prepared to begin Buckley's second gift to us: [Dear Friend: Letters & Essays of Elias Hicks]. In addition to a short biography, Buckley touches on a variety of themes running through Hicks's letters and journals: Concern for the environment Mysticism Scripture Inward Light God Jesus Salvation True Christianity Quakerism The larger world Slavery Orthodox/Hicksites schism aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In 1828, Elias Hicks was the best-known Quaker in the United States. He was a deep and original religious thinker, a commanding and compelling preacher, and though eighty years old, still a faithful traveling minister. Whenever God said, "Go " he went. If he is remembered at all today, it is for his role in the most traumatic events in the history of the Religious Society of Friends - a series of separations that split American Quakers into two hostile camps - one of which came to be called Hicksite. Over the years, his memory has been lost to stories told by his friends and his opponents. Much of what people believe about him is false. The truth is, Elias Hicks was a minister, a mystic, a farmer, an environmentalist, an abolitionist, a father and a husband. This book aims to reveal the real Elias Hicks and his understanding of what it means to be a Quaker. Elias Hicks has much to say to Friends today. Paul Buckley is a Quaker historian and theologian, well-known among Friends of all stripes for his workshops, short courses, and retreats. He has written books on William Penn and Elias Hicks, and the Lord's Prayer; and co-edited The Quaker Bible Reader. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
