Early Friends had a way of bringing scripture to life, a way of entering into the language and stories of the Bible to find meaningful expressions of their own experience and to find fresh truth in the Spirit that "gave forth" the scriptures. Following on examples from the writings of early Friends, Lu Harper explores the depth and variety of insights that can be found in biblical images of field and vineyard. What wisdom did early Friends find in these passages, and what do they say to us today? Through this extended exploration, and by offering rich queries for personal meditation, the author invites readers to rediscover a Quaker way of deriving powerful, personal meaning from the Bible. -- Back cover.
