Brian Drayton has made Bill Taber's reflections on the special vocabulary Friends assembled to describe their inward spiritual experiences freshly accessible to contemporary Friends. Taber's extraordinary insights into the inward landscape bring both a greater understanding of the writings of previous generations and a fresh discernment into one's own spiritual condition. A Language for the Inward Landscape is a fresh presentation of the riches of a Quaker spirituality organized by key concepts. It is both a theological resource that prepares the reader for a beneficial encounter with Quaker writings and a reflection of its own concerning qualities and possibilities of the inward life. Above all, if you seek words to express your inward experience of the spiritual life, you will find companionship and a language you may come to recognize as your own. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
As Quakers expressed and reflected upon their experience of life under the guidance of the spirit of Christ, they developed a rich vocabulary to describe those experiences. This vocabulary played an important role in Quaker spiritual formation and community life from the beginning of the movement in 1650, and continues today as modern seekers wrestle with describing their experiences. When Bill Taber died in 2005, he left behind notes on a project: "A language for the inward landscape." Key phrases provide important insights into the nature of inward experience over time and can help people explore their spiritual experience with an enriched vocabulary. Brian Drayton compiled these notes and expanded them. Readers (both Quaker and non-Quaker) may find this language conveys a distinctive "alternative Christianity" combining mystical and prophetic experiences with God and in community.
