Quaker Bible Index
A comprehensive Scripture index to early Quaker
writings
compiled by Esther Greenleaf Mürer, Central Philadelphia Monthly
Meeting
The Quaker Bible Index aims to provide a tool by which scholars, religious educators
and anyone wishing to learn more about Quakerism's biblical roots can identify Bible
texts of importance to Quaker thought and locate representative uses of them in the
works of Fox, Barclay, Penn, Woolman and others.

of Scripture?

- List of biblical

- I would very much like to hear from users of the current version of QBI about
what parts of it you find most useful, how you use it, what problems you have, and how
it could be improved.
- This site will make it easier to correct errors and add references I missed, so
please send me corrections and additions!
- I would also be interested in hearing about projects in which you have used the
QBI. If you would like to tell about them here--or perhaps even post them--please email me!
