Imprint Academic Open to New Light: Quaker Spirituality in
Book SynopsisThis book is about "the meaning of life" or "the spiritual quest". It offers a selective and critical evaluation of some central strands of Western religious and philosophical thought over two and a half thousand years. It starts with Socrates'' philosophy of life, and the Greek tradition of philosophy that he initiated. It gives its own take on the teaching of Jesus, and on the long and controversial history of Christianity. There is a chapter devoted to George Fox and the beginning of the Quaker movement, suggesting some surprising parallels between the undogmatic spirituality of the Quakers and the heavyweight philosophy of Immanuel Kant. It recommends a non-literal interpretation of language about God, with some reference to Austin Farrer on poetic truth. It is intended for the intelligent general reader it is accessible but not dumbed down, knowledgeable but not overburdened with detail, critically argumentative but not prejudiced.

Darton, Longman & Todd Ltd This Is My Body
Book SynopsisMuch has been said and written about trans people by theologians and Church leaders, while little has been heard from trans Christians themselves. As a step towards redressing the balance, This Is My Body offers a grounded reflection on people's experience of gender dissonance that involves negotiating the boundaries between one's identity and religious faith, as well as a review of the most up-to-date theological, cultural and scientific literature.The book includes contributions from many people associated with the Sibyls, the UK-based confidential spirituality group for transgender people and their allies.

These honest narratives follow a series of informative chapters, including Gender Incongruence in the changing social and medical environment' by Terry Reed.Trade Review‘This Is My Body is a book many of us have been waiting for. It grants space for trans Christians to give distinctive voice to theology grounded in particular and diverse experience, free from the often oppressive constructions of gender and identity imposed by ‘The Church’. This book reveals the diversity of trans experiences and models hope, anger and grace in powerful ways. It announces the growing confidence of trans Christians and our refusal to be treated as second-class and welcome under sufferance.’ -- Revd Rachel Mann
