This was the Ward Lecture, 1953, Given at Guilford College on Founders Day, November 9, 1953. Henry J. Cadbury, Hollis Professor of Divinity in Harvard University, is eminently fitted to discuss "A Quaker Approach to the Bible." His contributions to modern Biblical study are recognized by scholars everywhere, while all Bible readers are indebted to him for his share in the new Revised Standard Version of the New Testament.

Guilford College is a small liberal arts college in Greensboro, North Carolina. Founded in 1837 by members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), Guilford's program offerings include such majors as Peace and Conflict Studies and Community and Justice Studies, both rooted in the college's history as a Quaker institution. Henry Joel Cadbury (December 1, 1883 - October 7, 1974) was an American biblical scholar, Quaker historian, writer, and non-profit administrator. A graduate of Haverford College, Cadbury was a Quaker throughout his life, as well as an agnostic. Forced out of his teaching position at Haverford for writing an anti-war letter to the Philadelphia Public Ledger, in 1918, he saw the experience as a milestone, leading him to larger service beyond his Orthodox Religious Society of Friends. He was offered a position in the Divinity School at Harvard University, from which he had received his Ph.D, but he first rejected its teacher's oath for reasons of conscience, the Quaker insistence on telling the truth, and as a form of social activism. He later accepted the Hollis Professorship of Divinity (1934-1954). He also was the director of the Andover-Harvard Theological Library (1938-1954), and chairman (1928-1934; 1944-1960) of the American Friends Service Committee, which he had helped found in 1917. He delivered the Nobel lecture on behalf of the AFSC when it, together with the British Friends Service Council, accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in 1947 on behalf of the Religious Society of Friends. The The Quaker Universalist Fellowship (QUF) recognized the importance of this lecture and obtained permission to reissue it. The QUF stated that a long generation has passed since Henry Joel Cadbury, then Hollis Professor of Divinity, Harvard University and one of the eight translators of the American Standard Revised Bible, delivered the 1953 Ward Lecture at Guilford College (Guilford NC). Liberal Quakerism, under the influence of the egalitarian revolutions that began in the 1960s, has undergone substantial changes. But Cadbury's lecture, A Quaker Approach to the Bible, remains a vital exposition of what might be called a Quaker distinctive, a way of distinguishing the Religious Society of Friends from other religious bodies rooted in the Christian tradition. This Quaker distinctive was first seen in one Samuel E. Fisher, Quaker and author of A Rustic Alarum to the Rabbles which Christopher Hill has called the most radical Bible criticism of the 17th century.*For people raised in one part of the Judeo-Christian tradition seeking some understanding of another part, a natural opening question is, What does the Bible mean to you? A thoughtful answer may elicit dismay, enlightenment, or no more than mild interest. We think Cadbury will enlighten many. The Quaker Universalist Fellowship is a body within the Religious Society of Friends committed to seeking out and making known the commonalities between Friends and people of other faiths. We sponsor this reprint because questions about the Bible continue to be asked, and time has proven Cadbury's answer timeless. We hope our decision will be of help to those seeking to understand Quakers and their ways of thinking about the divine spark in all of us., Guilford College, 1953, 2.5, Ankara: TTK, 2015. Hardcover.

The Orthodox church in the Early Modern Middle East: Relations between the Ottoman central admnistration and the patriarchates of Antioch, Jerusalem and Alexandria. The study of the history of the Greek Orthodox Church in the Ottoman Empire has long been shaped by the model suggested by the proponents of millet system. In this model, the role attributed to the Eastern Patriarchates (Antioch, Jerusalem, and Alexandria) is one of submission to the demands of the Patriarchate of Constantinople and the Greek Orthodox lay elites called Phanariots. Hasan Çolak challenges this view by shifting his focus from the Patriarchate of Constantinople to the very relations between the Ottoman central administration and the Eastern Patriarchates. Introducing the concept of ?patriarchal elites" which was formed in parallel to the Phanariot ?lay elites" against the infiltration of Catholicism, the author explains the centralisation of the Eastern Patriarchates at a time often referred to as an age of political decentralisation. Beginning to establish closer ties with the Ottoman central administration and the Greek Orthodox of Istanbul in the 18th century, the Eastern Patriarchs began to cooperate more with the Ottoman central administration than their partners during the initial periods of the Ottoman rule in the Middle East, namely foreign courts and semi-autonomous provincial rulers. The book is based on rigorous research on unpublished and unexplored Ottoman correspondence between the Ottoman central administration and the Eastern Patriarchates, published Greek patriarchal documents, and French missionary and diplomatic sources., TTK, 2015, 6, Limni,Evvia,Greece: Denise Harvey, 2016 Book. New Book from Greece. Soft cover. First Edition.. (New - will be sent to you direct from the publisher in Greece) Philip Sherrard first came across George Seferis's poetry when, as a young man still in the army, he was transferred to Greece in 1946. It made such a powerful impression on him that when he returned to England he started corresponding with Seferis, began translating his poetry into English, and ultimately decided to do his PhD on modern Greek poetry. Much later Sherrard was to translate, together with Edmund Keeley, Seferis's Collected Poems for Princeton University Press. The Seferis - Sherrard correspondence is not vast, but nevertheless revealing of both men's orientation, most particularly Sherrard's as he became increasingly interested in the Christian Orthodox East, and who simultaneously with his involvement in Greek literature and especially modern Greek poetry went on to write a number of important theological studies. Included with the correspondence are the texts that the two men sent to each other and three studies of Seferis's poetry written by Sherrard, the one published here for the first time. The book is introduced by the Emeritus Professor of Modern Greek at Oxford, Peter Mackridge, and the theologian Vincent Rossi, as well as by Sherrard himself in a text published here for the first time. The three essays by Seferis in this volume are on his long poem 'Thrush', the Monasteries of Cappadocia, and Delphi. Those by Sherrard, in addition to his three essays on Seferis's poetry, include his essays on Greece and the Classics, El Greco, and St Symeon the New Theologian.., Denise Harvey, 2016, 6, xv+471 pages with maps, photographs, and index. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original olive green cloth with black spine label in gilt. First edition.The cult of the dead, centered on Todos Santos, the All Saints Day - All Souls Day celebration, is one of the most important aspects of Mesoamerican Indian and mestizo religion. Focusing on rural Tlaxcala, in Mexico, Hugo Nutini presents a thorough description and analysis of the cult in it syncretic, structural, and expressive dimensions. He describes its development from the original confrontation of the pre-Hispanic polytheism and Spanish Catholicism, through colonial times, until the disintegration of the systems of folk religions that is even now occurring. The discussion of the expressive component of the cult of the dead is a crucial contribution of the study. Nutini shows the symbolism can be an adjunct to expressive studies, but not an end in itself. In addition, he postulates a theory that may serve as a model for studies of the combination and reconciliation of religious beliefs in other contexts. Emphasizing folk theology, teleology and eschatology, rather than the mechanical and administrative components that are frequently studied in works on Mesoamerican Indian and mestizo religions, he concluded that the local system is monolatrous, rather than monotheistic. Nutini aims to rescue information about the cult of the dead before it finally falls to the forces of modernization and orthodox Roman Catholicism, and he has taken infinite pains to secure a complete description of this hitherto thinly documented topic. His deep analysis of syncretism is valuable advance to the study of social change.Condition:A fine copy in like jacket., Princeton University Press, 1988, 5<
