Download or read book Rufus Jones 1863 1948 written by Claus Bernet and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rufus Jones (1863-1948) helped organize the Quäkerspeisung (Quaker feeding effort), saving millions from starvation after the First World War. In Germany he is best known for having travelled to Berlin to seek a personal meeting with Hitler after the Kristallnacht in 1938. And, at the conclusion of a long life devoted to service, it was largely due to Jones that the American Friends Service Committee was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1947. But Jones was also the quintessential «American scholar», seeking to harmonize theory and practice. He was a pivotal figure of the 20th century who stayed in close touch with authors and statesmen the world over. He earned a reputation as a modern mystic and an active pacifist, and was regarded as the moral conscience of his era. His scholarship encompassed education and pedagogy, philosophical questions, church and Quaker history, as well as the political issues of the day. Jones dealt with such issues as justice, democracy, and child-rearing. His ideas are still alive today and still arouse controversy. He was particularly anxious to avoid the cultivation of an elite, pleading instead for individual growth and personality development. Over the course of his life, he was awarded twelve academic titles, taught at numerous universities, delivered countless lectures, and was one of the first theologians to recognise the significance of radio and to make full use of it. To this day Rufus Jones is still honored as a «seer», «Protestant mystic», and even as a «Master Quaker» and «Quaker Giant». It is time also to take a critical look at these honors.
Download or read book Mysticism and the Inner Light in the Thought of Rufus Jones Quaker written by Helen Holt and published by Studies in Theology and Religi. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rufus Jones' promotion of mysticism and his novel formulation of the Inner Light, which saw God as an inherent part of human nature, were sweepingly influential within liberal Quakerism in the early 20th century and have had long-lasting effects. His ideas, however, have never been examined critically. In Mysticism and the Inner Light , Helen Holt provides the first analysis of Jones' thought, showing how he attempted to synthesize his own experience with aspects of the psychology of William James, the idealism of Josiah Royce, and liberal Christianity. She finds that because Jones presented his ideas informally, he is sometimes misinterpreted, especially regarding his views on Christ and humanism. The book draws on Jones' extensive corpus and on unpublished archived letters.

Download or read book The Inner Life written by Rufus Jones and published by Ravenio Books. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is no inner life that is not also an outer life. To withdraw from the stress and strain of practical action and from the complication of problems into the quiet cell of the inner life in order to build its domain undisturbed is the sure way to lose the inner life. The finest of all the mystical writers of the fourteenth century — the author of Theologia Germanica — knew this as fully as we of this psychologically trained generation know it. He intensely desired a rich inner life, but he saw that to be beautiful within he must live a radiant and effective life in the world of men and events. “I would fain be,” he says, “to the eternal God what a man’s hand is to a man” — i.e. he seeks, with all the eagerness of his glowing nature, to be an efficient instrument of God in the world. In the practice of the presence of God, the presence itself becomes more sure and indubitable. Religion does not consist of inward thrills and private enjoyment of God; it does not terminate in beatific vision. It is rather the joyous business of carrying the Life of God into the lives of men — of being to the eternal God what a man’s hand is to a man. There is no one exclusive “way” either to the supreme realities or to the loftiest experiences of life. The “way” which we individuals select and proclaim as the only highway of the soul back to its true home turns out to be a revelation of our own private selves fully as much as it is a revelation of a via sacra to the one goal of all human striving. Life is a very rich and complex affair and it forever floods over and inundates any feature which we pick out as essential or as pivotal to its consummation. God so completely overarches all that is and He is so genuinely the fulfillment of all which appears incomplete and potential that we cannot conceivably insist that there shall be only one way of approach from the multiplicity of the life which we know to the infinite Being whom we seek."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Friend of Life: The Biography of Rufus M. Jones To have lived for three years so close to the mind and spirit of Rufus M.Jones has been a rare privilege and an experience both stimulating and satisfying. It has also brought me into contact with many other persons, to whom I wish to express my warm appreciation of their generous aid and advice. My thanks go first of all to Rufus Jones's daughter, Mary Hoxie Jones, who has given me unstinted help and encouragement. She has, in the first place, put at my disposal the wealth of manuscript material which came to light after her fathers death. This includes letters, both to and from Rufus Jones, family correspondence over a long span of years, notebooks, calendars, photographs, manuscripts of articles, addresses and books, and the unpublished Journal of his first trip to the Orient. This material, which was assembled and classified, first by Mary Hoxie Jones and her mother, Elizabeth B.Jones, and then, after Mrs. Jones's death at Haverford in 1952, by Miss Ruth Hays Smith, is now housed in the Library of Haverford College, for restricted use. It includes also notes taken by Mary Hoxie Jones on conversations with her father during the years 1939 to 1948, and after her fathers death with friends who remembered him, some of whom are no longer living. I am grateful also to Mary Hoxie Jones for permission to quote copiously from her invaluable brief biography, Rufus M. Jones, published in England in pamphlet form by the Friends Home Service Committee, London, 1955. And not least of all I am indebted to her for her tireless willingness to answer questions of all kinds and to check points of fact. To Henry J. Cadbury I am grateful for a sympathetic and careful reading of the whole manuscript and to Lydia C. Cadbury for her translation from the German of the letters of Theodor Sippell to Rufus Jones.
