Our Unitarian Gospel

The volume collects sermons delivered in a late-19th-century liberal pulpit that outline Unitarian beliefs and respond to contemporary religious controversies. The preacher traces Unitarian ideas to ancient monotheistic developments, critiques creeds and authoritative interpretations, and contests doctrines of penal atonement and predestination. He treats doubt and faith, prayer as communion with God, worship and natural morality, the relation of evolution to religious hope, and pastoral questions about doubt, resurrection, and clerical censorship. Across short, topical addresses he argues for a theology of life and hope grounded in reason, ethical responsibility, and inclusive spiritual experience.
