UNIVERSALISM AND SPIRITUALITY: QUAKER UNIVERSALIST READER #3

Collected here are fifty articles on spirituality. They range from essays on God and spirituality to science and spirituality, from descriptions of brief spiritual experiences to life-time spiritual journeys.

"Spirituality refers to the quality of life that results from trying to live by values such as uprightness, compassion, mercy, humility, and human equality," claims the introduction. The first sixteen essays discuss God--God as metaphor, God as creator, God as transformative, and God as humble. Spiritual experiences come in dreams, in silence, in light. Spiritual journeys carry people to Jesus, to Islam, to Quakerism, to mysticism and prophecy. Contributors find spirituality in an expanding universe, in Darwinism, and in the new world of chaos theory. Here is something for everyone, all written in language anyone can understand.
