Publisher Description:
1864. Part Eight 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: A Discourse of the Transient and Permanent in Christianity; The Education of the Labouring Class; The Three Chief Safeguards of Society; A Sermon of the Public Function of Woman; A Sermon of the Moral Dangers incident to Prosperity; The Effect of Slavery on the American People; The Material Condition of the People of Massachusetts; and Two Christmas Celebrations.
