UNIVERSALISM AND RELIGIONS: QUAKER UNIVERSALIST READER #2

Quaker universalism holds that all people possess something of the divine light within themselves. The forty essays collected here explore that belief and its meaning for world religions.

This collection of essays by forty authors, ordinary British and American citizens, explores the meaning of universalism. What is universalism? What is universal? Their views differ. The writers then discuss the connections (if any) between universalism and Quakerism, universalism and Christianity, and universalism and other world religions. Their interests are wide-ranging, from atheism to Unitarianism, to Sikhism; from pacifism to the God of the Bible; from the historical Jesus to the history of Quakerism. With so many brief essays, the book is excellent for browsing.
