The focus for the discussion is the distinctive Quaker concept and practice of ‘testimony’ – understood as a sustained pattern of action and life within and by the community and the individuals within it, in communicative and transformative relation to its context, and located in everyday life.   In the first section, Rachel Muers presents a constructive theological account of testimony, drawing on historical and contemporary Quaker sources, that makes explicit its roots in Johannine Christology and pneumatology, as well as its connections with other Quaker “distinctives” such as unprogrammed worship and non-creedalism. She focuses in particular on the character of testimonies as sustained refusals of specific practices and structures, and on the way in which this sustained opposition gives rise to new attitudes and forms of life.   Articulating the ongoing relevance of this approach for theology, Rachel Muers engages with the “ethics of witness” in contemporary Protestant theology and with a longer tradition of thought (and debates) about the significance of Christian ascesis.   In the second section, she develops this general account through a series of case studies in Quaker testimony, written and practised. She uses each one to explore aspects of the meaning of, and need for, shared and individual testimony.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50947227844881,"sku":"GOR009047243","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51001171968273,"sku":"NIN9780334046684","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52144710844689,"sku":"NLS9780334046684","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0341351482.jpg?v=1762339641"},{"product_id":"keeping-god-s-silence-book-rachel-muers-9781405118996","title":"Keeping God's Silence","description":"This ground-breaking book provides a new perspective on Christian practices of silence.

Rachel Muers explores the voice of Christian theology – the relationship between the subject of theology and theological discourse.   The book begins with the question ‘how does someone speak of God?’, understood not as a question about the criteria or authorised sources for theology, but as a question of what is going on when theology is done. How is it possible to speak as this particular historical embodied subject about God?   Muers investigates voice through engagement with historical and contemporary theologians, particularly but not only with women who are speaking from relatively marginalised positions and contending with the lack of societal authorisation for their theological work. Recognising that the question of ‘voice’ is often equated in the contemporary context with the representation of identities and with how spaces and institutions can facilitate that representation, the narrative considers more directly how questions of identity and context – particularly in relation to gender – shape the construction and representation of systematic theology, and of theological tradition. Muers examines the vocation of theology, particularly in the contemporary Western academy and alongside other ‘humanities’ subjects, and a concluding chapter sets out a vision for ecumenical theological work. The book draws extensively on the author’s own Quaker tradition and on her experience of teaching and mentoring theologians.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51597714194705,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51597714391313,"sku":"NGR9780567721259","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52702210392337,"sku":"NLS9780567721259","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0567721256.jpg?v=1752315019"},{"product_id":"living-for-the-future-book-rachel-muers-9780567155757","title":"Living for the Future","description":"Our relationship to future generations raises fundamental issues for ethical thought, to which a Christian theological response is both possible and significant. A relationship to future generations is implicitly central to many of today's most public controversies - over environmental protection, genetic research, and the purpose of education, to name but a few; but it has received little explicit or extended consideration. In  Living for the Future Rachel Muers argues and seeks to demonstrate that to consider future generations as ethically significant is not simply to extend an existing ethical framework, but to rethink how ethics is done. Doing intergenerationally responsible theology and ethics means paying attention to how people are formed as theological and ethical reasoners (reasoners about the good), how social practices of deliberation about the good are maintained and developed, and how all of this relates to an understanding of the world as the sphere of God's transforming action. In other words, an intergenerationally responsible theological ethics will pay attention to the ethics, and the spirituality, of \"ethics\" itself. Her account of the ethical relation to future generations centres on three key concepts: \"choosing life\" (see Deut 30:19); \"keeping the sources open\"; and \"sustaining fruitful contexts. These concepts are developed theologically and in engagement with extra-theological conversations on intergenerational responsibility. She shows how they take up and move beyond concerns expressed in those conversations - for \"survival\", for the right distribution of resources, and for the maintenance of human values.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52125614473489,"sku":"NLS9780567155757","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780567155757.jpg?v=1757467015"},{"product_id":"living-for-the-future-book-rachel-muers-9780567032256","title":"Living for the Future","description":"Offers an examination of the importance of fundamental issues involved in ethical thought with a view to its significance for future generations.

They experiment in the first place with a form of Christian theological exegesis of the Bible that they call serious play--a form of reading beyond the literal sense that is nevertheless serious about the ethical, historical, and textual responsibilities of the reader. They experiment in the second place with the practice called Scriptural Reasoning--in which Jews, Christians, and Muslims read and argue over their respective Scriptures together--and argue that the practice makes deep sense for seriously playful Christian readers. This constitutes the most detailed and developed account of Scriptural Reasoning yet published.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52474157859089,"sku":"NLS9781498214759","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52749389988113,"sku":"NIN9781498214759","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781498214759.jpg?v=1759840909"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-rachel-muers.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
