Practiced in the Presence: Essays in Honor of T. Canby Jones

Editorial Review:

"The idea of a festschrift is that it celebrates the contribution of a significant scholar by means of adding further contributions in like directions. This collection does that and more. It gathers truly interesting essays from many of the most notable Quaker thinkers in America, each of whom builds upon and yet also extends the work of T. Canby Jones. From peace interests, to the vocation of higher education, to the contributions of Isaac Pennington and Thomas Kelly, to reconsidering Rufus Jones, to theology and spiritual vitality, this volume treats topics central to the interests of Canby Jones. Most importantly, however, the reader is treated to a valuable collection of fine pieces, most of which have never been available in print until now."
Paul N. Anderson, Associate Professor of Quaker and Biblical Studies at George Fox College
"This collection of essays is a delightful sampler fo the extensive circle of friendship, scholarship and mutual respect that honors T. Canby Jones. It also is a sample of the richness of community in the Religious Society of Friends. These are tributes to the friendship of ideas, the textures of spirituality and the unities of shared mission."
Jan E. Wood, Assistant Professor of Religion and Philosophy, and Director of Peace Studies at Wilmington College, Wilmington, Ohio.
