The Quaker Bible Reader

About this book

Thirteen very different Quakers look at portions of Scripture, describe what they find, and how they found it. Their goal is to encourage every Friend to engage the Bible, "not passively accepting someone else's interpretation; not looking for 'the good parts' and skipping the rest; not contorting Scripture to support predetermined ideas -- but entering into a dialogue with this ancient book, exploring your own assumptions about God, and deepening your relationship with the divine."--P. [4] of cover.
