Twelve Quakers and Jesus

Book excerpt: What part does Jesus play in the Quaker faith? Do Quakers 'believe' in the Bible? No one can speak for Quakers as a whole on these matters, but in this booklet twelve individual Quakers share their responses to these questions. Some focus mainly on the teachings of Jesus; others also search for meaning in the Christ of faith. The variety of different approaches to the topic reflects the emphasis that Quakers place on each individual's speaking in a way that in truthful to him or her. We hope that these twelve honest accounts will be helpful to those wanting to explore the Quaker way.
