Rufus Jones' promotion of mysticism and his novel formulation of
the Inner Light, which saw God as an inherent part of human nature,
were sweepingly influential within liberal Quakerism in the early
20th century and have had long-lasting effects on Quaker faith and
practice. In spite of the importance of his ideas, however, they
have received little critical attention. In Mysticism and the Inner
Light, Helen Holt provides a systematic analysis of Jones' thought
in historical context, showing how he attempted to synthesize his
own experience with aspects of the psychology of William James, the
idealism of Josiah Royce, and liberal Christianity. She finds that
because Jones presented his ideas informally, he is sometimes
misinterpreted, especially regarding his views on Christ and
humanism. The book draws on Jones' extensive corpus and on
unpublished archived letters.
