Plowing Up the Ground: A Meditation in the Company… door Lu Harper
Early Friends had a way of bringing scripture to life, a way of entering into the language and stories of the Bible to find meaningful expressions of their own experience and to find fresh truth in the Spirit that “gave forth” the scriptures. Following on examples from the writings of early Friends, Lu Harper explores the depth and variety of insights that can be found in biblical images of field and vineyard. What wisdom did early Friends find in these passages, and what do they say to us today? Through this extended exploration, and by offering rich queries for personal meditation, the author invites readers to rediscover a Quaker way of deriving powerful, personal meaning from the Bible.… (meer)

PAFM | 4 andere besprekingen | Mar 26, 2020 | In this helpful pamphlet, the author explains a contemplative practice for reading the Bible that early Friends called reading the Scriptures in the Spirit. Early Friends contemplated Biblical images and stories as metaphors for their own spiritual conditions, opening an empowering and enlightening understanding of both the Bible and spiritual life. This created the language for explanation of the life of the Spirit that we find in their writings.
She demonstrates this practice with a series of Biblical images, combined with writings of early Friends using the same images, so readers can experience the process and contemplate several queries and aspects of our own spiritual lives and transformations.
Reading the Bible this way does not lead to an "authoritative" reading of the text, but is rather a way to open ourselves to a teachable moment, where the Spirit opens us to insight and spiritual growth.
The examples of Biblical images, such as plowing up the fertile ground, the sower and the seed, fields and hedges, the weeds, separating the wheat from the chaff, illustrate a holistic understanding of the working of the Spirit in us, in all our conditions, throughout our lives. Seeing these metaphors as about the ongoing process of healing transformation opens us to the inward teaching of the Spirit.
