Editor’s Note: Jon Kershner is a noted expert on the Quaker tradition. His recent collaborative project, Quaker Studies: An Overview: The Current State of the Field (Daniels, Healey, and Kershner 2018), and the series it is part of, offers historians an excellent opportunity to analyze scholarly trends in the study of Quakerism. I am pleased that Dr. Kershner agreed to write for the Bulletin this short state-of-the-art survey of Quaker studies building on that seminal volume.
