Livne-Kafri","doi":"10.3828/quaker.2019.24.1.9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3828/quaker.2019.24.1.9","url":null,"abstract":"The early development of Muslim ideas of the holiness of Jerusalem has attracted considerable interest in recent years. Livni-Kafri has argued that the earliest collections of the fadd'il of the city were already in existence in the third/ninth century and in 1979 Hasson published an edition of the earliest of these texts known to have survived, the early eleventh-century Fadd 'il al-Bayl al-Muqaddas of al-WasitT. Now Livne-Kafri has published the slightly later volume on the same theme by Ibn al-Murajja. The editor argues that this was composed in the 430s (mistakenly given as c. 1130-40 in the introduction: in fact the 430s correspond to A.D. 1038-48). Almost nothing seems to be known of the writer whose life was entirely ignored by the authors of later rijal books. He worked in the traditional forms of Muslim scholarship and was careful to quote his isndds. He begins with a discussion of the holy places of Jerusalem, especially the Dome of the Rock but also including smaller sanctuaries. As the full title suggests he also has short sections on the fadd'il of Syria and Hebron. The work is conventional and unexciting but it does provide further evidence for popular piety and the importance of Jerusalem as a holy city to Muslims in the pre-Crusader period. The edition is made from a single Tubingen MS dated 866/1462 and the editor has provided extensive notes and an index. Livne-Kafri and others, notably Hasson and Elad, have written extensively in this area recently, but the introduction, which is short and to the point, could perhaps have provided an opportunity for a fuller discussion of the background to the work and its place in the literature of Muslim Jerusalem.","PeriodicalId":36790,"journal":{"name":"Quaker Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47341761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We begin by exploring Conway’s rejection of the remnants of Cartesianism in the Neoplatonic philosophy of her mentor, Henry More, leading her to posit a monistic ontology of spirit. Following this, I argue that Conway’s Christology and religious epistemology can be understood as inspired by George Keith’s account of the ‘Christ Within’ and the manner in which the historical Christ is construed as a manifestation of a metaphysical principle, ‘Christ’. We can understand Conway’s notion of ‘adoption’ by Christ as becoming qualitatively identical with Him as part of the process towards moral perfection, in which we come to embody the ‘Christ Within’.","PeriodicalId":36790,"journal":{"name":"Quaker Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45759678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article distinguishes between formal and substantive rationality, finding that while the literature shows that many schools are run on formally rational principles, the data collected shows that a school influenced by Quaker values can resist some of the negative impacts of formal rationality. The article addresses some of the concerns of the group ‘Quaker Values in Education’, set up to work towards an education system in line with Quaker values; this school resisted or rejected the enforcement of practices on teachers by superiors, excessive assessment and militarisation. While Quaker values were seen by respondents to be important in the daily life of the school, the religious beliefs of Quakerism were not.
