| Summary: | This paper investigates the tension between Rufus Jones' Quaker mysticism and miracles recorded in early Quakerism. It uses George Fox's Book of Miracles to establish early Quaker beliefs and compares these recorded beliefs with Jones' writing concerning miracles and mysticism, arguing that Jones' conception of miracles was distinct from Fox's. Jones often refrained from definite claims regarding the nature of miracles, but he did not claim the miracles of early Quakerism. The paper provides context for understanding distinguishing features, according to Jones, between the miraculous and the mystical. |
