The Critical Writings Part Two: The Collected Works of Theodore Parker V10 - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

1865. Part Ten of Fourteen. Containing His Theological, Polemical, and Critical Writings, Sermons, Speeches, and Addresses, and Literary Miscellanies. Theodore Parker was a preacher, lecturer, and writer, a public intellectual, and a religious and social reformer. He played a major role in moving Unitarianism away from being a Bible-based faith, and he established a precedent for clerical activism that has inspired generations of liberal religious leaders. Although ranked with William Ellery Channing as the most important and influential Unitarian minister of the nineteenth century, he was an extremely controversial figure (he was active in the antislavery movement) in his own day and his legacy to Unitarian Universalism remains contested. Contents: The Hebrew Monarchy; Ballad Literature; William Ellery Channing; The Eternity of God; Sonnets; Character of Mr. Prescott as an Historian; Prescott's Conquest of Mexico; The Administration of the late Mr. Polk; The Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson; Hildreth's History of the United States; and Some Thoughts on the Different Opinions in the New Testament Relative to the Personality of Jesus.
