Material type:
TextSeries: Pendle Hill PamphletPublication details: Wallingford, Pa : Pendle Hill Publications, 2011. Description: 35 p. 19 cmSubject(s): Fox, George, 1624-1691 | Quakers -- Religious life | Bible -- Study and teaching -- Society of FriendsSummary: Early Friends had a way of bringing scripture to life, a
way of entering into the language and stories of the Bible
to find meaningful expressions of their own experience and
to find fresh truth in the Spirit that "gave forth" the
scriptures. Following on examples from the writings of
early Friends, Lu Harper explores the depth and variety of
insights that can be found in biblical images of field and
vineyard. What wisdom did early Friends find in these
passages, and what do they say to us today? Through this
extended exploration, and by offering rich queries for
personal meditation, the author invites readers to
rediscover a Quaker way of deriving powerful, personal
meaning from the Bible. -- Back cover
