E-text prepared by Mark C. Orton, Jacqueline Jeremy, Ian Deane,
"Hidden from the Prudent" by Paul Jones is a series of lectures delivered in 1921, specifically the seventh in the William Penn Lectures series. This book serves as a theological and philosophical discourse rooted in the ideals of the Society of Friends (Quakers). The work emphasizes the simplicity of Christ's message about love, compassion, and human potential, challenging the complexities often associated with religious and ethical discussions. In this lecture, Jones reflects on his experiences with the Ute Indian Reservation and the inherent wisdom found in simplicity and humility, particularly through the perspective of those often deemed less 'sophisticated' by societal standards. He argues that many intellectuals and the prudent are blind to the core message of Christianity, which is about recognizing God’s care for humanity and the world. Throughout the text, he explores the transformational potential of love and forgiveness, urging readers to perceive the divine presence within all individuals. The book ultimately calls for a collective recognition of our shared humanity and the importance of creating a more equitable and loving society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
