- In this video, I look at one of the latest books in the Quaker Quicks series, 'Rufus Jones: The Presence of God' by Helen Holt. I look into the key areas of the book and the life and controversies around Rufus Jones, as well as explaining why I am not, as accused, a 'Rufus Jones fanboy'...
A link to purchase the book:

^^^ Would usually use a link to the Quaker Bookshop but I am having issues with their website at the time of uploading!
Thanks for the video! On interpreting the Early Quakers as non-puritan - I don't know how you can read Penn's 'No Cross, No Crown' and not see Puritan theology there like 'Blackpool' through a stick of rock.
Absolutely!
You don't think conscience = inner light? Don't you at least think that Quakers are known to the world as "people of conscience"?
Hi! I think I've answered your question in another video post with the same question :)
I have noticed that the mention of RJ's name does not go over well in certain, more conservative-leaning circles. I have caught grimaces, eyerolls, and even soft groans at times! LOL (true story)
Which I do understand, but we’d be wrong to deny his impact. I think a lot of them just didn’t see the ramifications of their theories
Not conscious. Conscience.
"RJ fan boy" -- 😅🤣
PS - I find myself eagerly looking forward to your next episode from week to week. I check my notifications frequently just to see if you have posted anything. Call me a Q-I-U -fan boy! 🤣🤷
I’ll never be able to live it down…
That’s so lovely to hear! I’m glad you’re enjoying them, there will be one a fortnight for the next month or so!
