The Tendering Presence
Essays on John Woolman
Mike Heller, ed., English Professor at Roanoke College, Virginia
John Woolman (1720–1772), a Quaker social reformer, called the Religious Society of Friends to stand in a corporate testimony against slavery and its economic injustice. His call arose from his ongoing experience of the tendering presence of God and was exemplified by a faith and social witness that stands today to help heal the ills of war, poverty, and environmental destruction.
In this volume, nineteen scholars offer insightful essays on John Woolman’s spirituality, his social and historical context, and his influence on contemporary issues of oppression, social change and education.
