Quaker Quicks - Telling the Truth About God : Quaker approaches to theology EPUB
by Rhiannon Grant
EPUB
Description
Telling the truth about God without excluding anyone is a challenge to the Quaker community. Drawing on the author's academic research into Quaker uses of religious language and her teaching to Quaker and academic groups, Rhiannon Grant aims to make accessible some key theological and philosophical insights. She explains that Quakers might sound vague but are actually making clear and creative theological claims. Theology isnt just for wordy people or intellectuals, its for everyone. And thats important because our religious language is related to, not separate from, our religious experience. It also becomes clear that denying other peoples claims often leads to making your own and that even apparently negative positions can also be making positive statements. How do Quakers tell the truth about God? This book explores this key theological process through fourteen short chapters. As Quakers, we say that we know some things, but not very much, about God, and that we are in a constant process of trying to improve our ways of saying what we do know.
