Overview

1865. Part Twelve 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 Like and the Different; Discourse on the Death of Daniel Webster; Buckle's History of Civilization; A Bumblebee's Thoughts on the Plan and Purpose of the Universe; John Brown's Expedition reviewed; Letter to the Boston Association; Some Account of Theodore Parker's Ministry; Letter to the American Unitarian Association; and Theodore Parker's Experience as a Minister.
