The Quaker World Now in Paperback

Rhiannon Grant and I co-edited the book, The Quaker World published by Routledge in 2022 and it is now ou in paperback at a much cheaper price. The challenge of the original hardback was cost. At $200, it was not accessible. Rhiannon and I didn't choose the price and we know that it put the book out of reach of many individuals who wanted to read it. It also went against the grain of our intention for the book.

However, the book is now available in paperback at the much more reasonable price of $50. The book is 542 pages and has 61 chapters by 50+ authors representing global Quakerism. It is a great book for new inquirers, undergraduates, and Quaker studies students alike. Below is a link to a post I wrote about how I have used it to rewrite my syllabus for my Intro to Quakerism class at Guilford.

You can purchase the paperback, ebook, or hardback editions through Routledge, Bookshop.org (price is a little higher there), Barnes and Noble, and Amazon:
