The work involves a close analysis of material produced by Quaker meetings through formal, corporate methods; of material produced by individuals and small groups within Quaker communities; and of writing by individuals and small groups working primarily within academic or ecumenical theological settings. It concludes that although liberal Quaker theology is diverse and flexible, it also possesses a core coherence and can meaningfully be discussed as a single tradition. At the centre of liberal Quaker theology is the belief that direct, unmediated contact with the Divine is possible and results in useful guidance.Brill Research Perspectives.QuakersQuakers.289.609Grant Rhiannon1524000MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794150603321Theology from listening3764403UNINA
