This week, we’re asking the question “Do Quakers read the Bible?” The answer is not a simple 'yes' or 'no', but a journey into a faith that has been both wounded and liberated by the very same pages.

Do Quakers Read the Bible?
One of the most asked questions about Quakers is “Do they read the Bible?” The answer is not a simple 'yes' or 'no', but a journey into a faith that has been both wounded and liberated by the very same pages.

The word [Quaker] can often invoke images of a quaint and peculiar people from the past, with men in distinctive hats and women wearing bonnets. Today, however, a Quaker is more likely to be a young African Evangelical Christian, or a middle-aged American humanist who practices Buddhist meditation.

I do think Quakers can learn a lot from PR and marketing, particularly when it comes to “brand” awareness. In general as a group we undervalue and under resource comms compared to others. Have a watch if you’re interested in what I mean by all that and why we shouldn’t be squeamish about it!

I've officially signed a book contract with @psupress.bsky.social for my manuscript, Quaker Jeremiad, a literary history of Quaker agrarian writing in early America.
I'm very grateful to Tristan Bates and the rest of that editorial team for their support. Looking forward to getting this in print!

Look at Ben Wood all over the media! I will do a video on this for sure!
I was recently interviewed by Prospect about theological diversity among British Quakers. You can read the full article here.
Disagreement among Friends: why Quakers are questioning God
The future of British Quakerism is up for debate, as the movement updates its most important text. The biggest question: keep or dilute God?
