Mark Russ

From the very beginnings of the movement, Quakers have claimed to be "a different kind of Christian," unlike the majority of Christians around them in important ways. In this "Quaker Quicks" volume, Mark Russ describes his own ongoing encounters with Christianity and how his understanding of the Quaker way has shaped his understanding of the Jesus story. Mixing personal memoir with explicit discussion of such themes as universalism, resurrection, sin and the cross, he has produced a very show more readable account of the distinctives of Christianity as seen from the Quaker perspective. A very helpful read for anyone who has wondered about Quakerism's rootedness in Christianity. show less
