God in Us

'God in Us; The World Faith of Quakerism' is a thoughtful and accessible examination of the theological foundations and spiritual practices of the Religious Society of Friends. Daniel Gibbons provides a comprehensive overview of the Quaker faith, emphasizing the central doctrine of the 'Inner Light'-the belief in a direct, personal experience of the Divine within every individual. This work explores how this core tenet informs the Quaker testimonies of peace, simplicity, integrity, and equality.The book delves into the historical evolution of Quaker thought, positioning it as a universal expression of spiritual truth that transcends narrow sectarian boundaries. Gibbons articulates the significance of silent worship and the absence of formal creed, explaining how these practices foster a communal environment of spiritual discernment and social activism. By focusing on the immanence of God, the work presents a vision of faith that is both deeply mystical and practically engaged with the world’s challenges. 'God in Us' serves as an essential resource for those seeking to understand the enduring relevance of Quakerism as a world faith and its contribution to the broader landscape of modern Christian thought and global spirituality.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
