{"product_id":"the-rule-of-christ-stuart-masters-9789004468726","title":"The Rule of Christ: Themes in the Theology of James Nayler","description":"During the 1650s, James Nayler was one of the most important leaders of the emerging Quaker movement in England and, arguably, its most effective preacher and writer. However, his legacy has been dominated by events that took place in the summer and autumn of 1656, leading to a conviction for blasphemy, brutal public punishment, and imprisonment. Official histories of Quaker beginnings portrayed him as a gifted, but flawed, character, who brought the Quaker movement into disrepute, and prompted a concern for corporate order. Scholarship during the past century has begun to question this received position. However, a continued preoccupation with his 'fall' has tended to overshadow interpretations of his writings. In this volume, Stuart Masters seeks to identify a number of important theological themes visible within Nayler's works, and to locate them within their radical religious context. He argues that a powerful Christological vision at the heart of Nayler's religious thought engendered a practical theology with radical political, economic, and ecological implications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart Masters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004468722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004468726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 5.98w x 0.32d","brand":"Stuart Masters","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982156824831,"sku":"9789004468726","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67681a06-85f9-4995-9c4b-c62e6b020a7b.jpg?v=1683259554","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rule-of-christ-stuart-masters-9789004468726","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
