Your scripture citations and commentary are such a blessing in helping to understand this wonderful little book.When I first read it I was struck on the deep emotional joy it brought forth in me as I have re-read the book the importance of it as guide to the understanding of early Friends thoughts on the relationship between God and his creation, especially the faithful becomes clearer to me. Our Thursday night adult religious discussion group is now reading the Meditations. We have statred with the "To the Christian Reader" introduction. We glanced at all the scriptural citations but did not read through them. I'm thinking of going back and asking to read them, Shewen's thoughts are so centered on the scriptures. Your observation that the outward events that are told of in the scriptures are descriptive of the inward spiritual growth towards reconciliation with God in the individual is key to understanding the Meditations. I look forward to your next posting. Friend:
