Splendid Anthology
A Quaker Reader Is Grateful for this Quaker Reader.
what you didn't know about Quaker's Do not get the impression that this is a textbook on Quaker traditions; it is far from that. The educational component is presented stealthily, through Bill's accomplished selection of writings and his wonderful introductions to each author and each story. The book includes selections from a wide historical and style range of Quaker authors including D. Elton Trueblood, Jessamyn West, James A. Michener, Scott Russell Sanders, and Philip Gulley. The selections are marvelous, but it is Bill's introductions and explanations that really make this book shine. Before each selection Bill gives a brief biography of the author with emphasis on his or her relationship to Quaker tradition. He also sets up each piece with its relevance to some aspect of Quaker life, such as wrestling with the issue of music or the particularities of a Quaker wedding. I came away from each piece feeling like a masterful teacher had just hoodwinked me into learning something about Quakers. Congratulations to Brent Bill for masterfully weaving together a collection of literature from the prolific Quaker tradition.

Editorial Review Product Description Walvin suggests that, having bannedmusic, art, dancing, and just about every other form of entertainment,the Quakers had both the time and the discipline to concentrate onbusiness. A combination of individual self-abnegation and awell-connected worldwide community of fellow believers helped createsuch successful institutions as Barclays Bank, Lloyds of London, andCadbury. At the same time the Quakers were amassing great fortunes,they were committed to worthy social causes as well, chiefly theabolition of slavery. Walvin's study of the culture and contradictionsof 19th-century Quakerism provides insight into a little-known side ofthis religion. Customer Reviews (2)
