In this essential overview of practical Quaker theology, Buck takes everyday issues in the Christian life and examines the particulars of how Quakers address those issues today. In doing so, this work extends the Quaker voice into the 21st century, converging Quaker tradition within our modern cultural context.Buck artfully integrates old ideas from Christian history into new movements of the Holy Spirit. In doing so, she examines the daily lives of Spirit-led Quakers, from eating habits to scriptural approaches, in order to evaluate effectively what it means to be an Evangelical Friend today.

Reframing the House continues the conversation of global theology as the future of the church. Jennifer Buck tells how women''s voices from Africa, Asia, and Latin America serve as a critique of Evangelical theology of the church in the West. Three voices are highlights here from the Majority world: Mercy Oduyoye, a Ghanaian feminist theologian as representative of Africa; Kwok Pui-lan, a Chinese feminist theologian as representative of Asia; and Maria Pilar Aquino, a Mexican feminist theologian representative of the Americas. Working with these women along with Quaker, political, and feminist voices, this work presents a constructive global ecclesiology, exploring areas such as salvation, sin, peacemaking, and more.
