Excerpt from Our Liberal Movement: In Theology Chiefly as Shown in Recollections of the History of Unitarianism in New England Unitarianism in Ne Course England Being a Closing Course of Lectures Given in the Harvard Divinity School
The name Socinian has been often cast against mod ern Unitarians; and has always been disclaimed by them, as belonging to a phase of rationalism which they had nothing to do with, while they were quite free to profess honor and respect to the founders of that school. Again, there has been a distinct Uni tarian tradition eastward in Europe, forming a current (it would seem) quite independent of western opinion, whose names Of honor are the Polish brethren, and the careful scholars of Transylvania, only lately known to us by personal communication. With these, too, our inquiry has nothing practically to do.

These circumstances will explain, if they do not justify, a more personal tone in these Lectures than would belong to a purely historical or critical review. In fact, the value of the volume, if it has any, turns mainly on its being, in good part, made up of reminiscences and personal testimony. It is, besides, in some sense the final link in a series, of which "Hebrew Men and Times" makes the first, and the third, under the title "The Middle Age," is now in press.
I will only add, that some passages may perhaps be recognized as having appeared here and there in print. In particular, most of the article on Unitarianism in a pamphlet entitled "Three Phases of Modern Theology" has been included here; and the Lecture on "The Gospel of Liberalism" is substantially the same with the Address to the Alumni of this School delivered in 1880.
By the kindness of Dr. Hedge I am permitted to add in the form of an Appendix, with some revision and addition by his hand, his recent Memorial Address on Bellows and Emerson.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the evolution of religious thought in the United States by focusing on the history of Unitarianism. The author provides a meticulous examination of the movement's origins, tracing its roots back to the liberal wing of Puritan Congregationalists who founded the early colonies in New England. The work highlights the tension between the Unitarian body's conservative Congregationalist heritage and its embrace of liberal principles of interpretation. The author explores how this dynamic shaped the movement's history and led to internal debates between those advocating for stricter adherence to tradition and those pushing for more radical reform. Through this analysis, the book offers insights into the complex relationship between religious doctrine, societal change, and the quest for intellectual freedom in American religious history.
