LA VIVENCIA DEL ESPÍRITU EN LOS PRIMEROS CUÁQUEROS. (Portuguese)

The experience of the Spirit in the early Quakers. (English)

The text addresses the analysis of the spirituality of the first Quakers, that is, what they considered the experience of the Spirit to be. For this, the historical conditions of the emergence of this movement are briefly described and it goes on to explain what the Spirit was for them, how it manifested itself, how it should be worshiped and the practical implications of this belief. The Quakers were an example of popular and non-elitist mysticism that can provide clues and nuance current discussions about what spirituality is. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El texto se dirige al análisis de la espiritualidad de los primeros cuáqueros, es decir, a qué consideraron vivir en el Espíritu. Para esto se describen brevemente las condiciones históricas del surgimiento de este movimiento, se explica qué era el Espíritu para ellos, cómo se manifestaba, cómo debía ser adorado y las implicaciones prácticas de esta creencia. Los cuáqueros fueron un ejemplo de misticismo popular y no elitista que pueden dar pistas y matizar las discusiones actuales sobre los distintos modos de vivir la espiritualidad.
