Put into words what I've struggled to sayBy Amitra SchwolsIt's fascinating that this book was written so long ago, and yet still speaks to a modern audience. It's relevant, interesting, and helps me articulate what I already know to be true - God is loving, and strong, not cruel or weak. And what follows from that premise is wonderful and rational. There are a few typographical issues in the Kindle edition, but they certainly don't detract from the readabilty of the book. If you're a Unitarian, or interested in the religion, this is a great book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Smallest Print I've ever seen in a published bookBy JenI'm reviewing the publication -- not the content of the book, simply because I can't read it in its current form. The print is ridiculously small. My wife thought it was a joke. The print size is roughly 1/3 of the size of the print you're reading right now. I have close to perfect vision and don't wear glasses, but it would be hard to get through much of this without a magnifying glass.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A series of sermons by an excellent oratorBy white cat 56This is a series of sermons delivered by the author in the 1897-8 liturgical season. Apparently these are transcripts of the sermons, but they are still quite readable. This is from the point of view of a Unitarian who still believed in the miracles of the Bible, but who wanted to refute the "hellfire and brimstone" mentality of the evangelical movement. He makes a good case for why Unitarianism is more "evangelical", i.e., good news, than the evangelical movement.

About the AuthorMinot Judson Savage (June 10, 1841 ndash; May 22, 1918) was an American Unitarian minister and author. Savage was born in Norridgewock, Maine in 1841. He graduated from the Bangor Theological Seminary in 1864, and for nine years was in the Congregational ministry, being a home missionary at San Mateo and Grass Valley, California, until 1867. He held pastorates at Framingham, Massachusetts from 1867 to 1869, and at Hannibal, Missouri from 1869 to 1873. Savage then became a Unitarian, and was pastor of the Third Unitarian Church of Chicago from 1873 to 1874, of the Church of the Unity in Boston from 1874 to 1896, and of the Church of the Messiah (now renamed the Community Church) in New York City from 1896 to 1906. He was an active advocate of Darwinian evolutionistic optimism and social reform, and he also preached a spiritualistic faith in personal survival after death. His sermons were distributed in the pamphlets Unity Pulpit and Messiah Pulpit. He wrote many books, including Christianity, the Science of Manhood (1873), The Religion of Evolution (1876), The Morals of Evolution (1880), The Religious Life (1885), My Creed (1887), Religious Reconstruction (1888), The Evolution of Christianity (1892), Our Unitarian Gospel (1898), The Passing and the Permanent in Religion (1901), Life Beyond Death (1901), Can Telepathy Explain? (1902), Life's Dark Problems (1905), Immortality (1906), and, in addition to other volumes in verse, America to England (1905). He was a director of the American Unitarian Association, and served on several councils and conferences. In 1896 he was granted an honorary doctor of divinity degree from Harvard University in 1896 [uyqHc.ebook] Our Unitarian Gospel By Minot Judson Savage PDF [uyqHc.ebook] Our Unitarian Gospel By Minot Judson Savage Epub [uyqHc.ebook] Our Unitarian Gospel By Minot Judson Savage Ebook [uyqHc.ebook] Our Unitarian Gospel By Minot Judson Savage Rar [uyqHc.ebook] Our Unitarian Gospel By Minot Judson Savage Zip [uyqHc.ebook] Our Unitarian Gospel By Minot Judson Savage Read Online.

  • Canadian Templar Newsletter
    The Canadian Templar September 2015 Newsletter News and Report from our Grand Prior I hope you all enjoyed your summer and had a chance to enjoy some time off and relax. Some of the Priories had events during the summer and you can read about them below. On the international front, the next OSMTH Grand Magistral Meeting will be in Cologne, Germany at the end of the month, with a few Canadians attending. One of the agenda items will be the approval of new Regulations and Orders as well as new Statutes. This will bring some greater standardization to our Order. OSMTH has had significant growth in the number of Grand Priories over the last decade; growing from a few predominantly English speaking countries to over 20 multi- lingual countries, each with their own traditions and organizational nuances. With this has come some challenges on our internal governance. Once all is finalized, they will be part of the framework to revise our own Canadian orders. Another challenge of our relatively young organization is the collection and distribution of charitable funds. As has been stated in previous newsletters, our Canadian Revenue Agency is just one of many countries changing laws and making it more difficult for legitimate charities to operate. We Page 1 (OSMTH) have been waiting on the European Union to show some guidance on how they were going to tackle this similar issue. One would think this an easier task to have the EU show leadership to the rest of the world, but apparently not. At the end of last year, the 28 Member States of the EU failed to agree a consensus on moving the draft legislation forward, and the EU Commission and Presidency have therefore now removed the draft law from the EU legislative agenda in 2015.

No excuses^ therefore^for the somewhatfrequent use of the personal pro- 7WU71 in the recital^ need be offered.

  • Christian Evolutionists in the United States, 1860-1900
    Journal of Cambridge Studies 14 1 Christian Evolutionists in the United States, 1860-1900 Bernard LIGHTMAN∗ York University Abstract: In this paper I will examine the theistic evolutionism of four important American Christian leaders, Minot Judson Savage, Joseph Cook, Henry Ward Beecher, and Lyman Abbott. From the late 1870’s to the 1890’s these men played a key role in the construction of a theory of evolution congenial to various forms of Christianity. I will argue that an appreciation of significant differences in national context will help us to understand how theistic evolutionism remained a viable option in the United States up until the end of the nineteenth century. Key Words: Theistic evolution, American Christianity, Darwin Trained as a Congregationalist minister, Joseph Cook became a gifted public lecturer whose oratory drew large crowds. From 1880 to 1882 he undertook a world lecture tour to Great Britain, India, Japan, and Australia. Cook’s success was based on his ability to assure his audiences that modern science and traditional Protestantism were cut from the same cloth. In 1877, his Boston Monday Lectures were published under the title Biology, with Preludes on Current Events. Here he maintained that there were several distinct evolutionary hypotheses that could be grouped according to their religious implications. He believed that “the question of chief interest to religious science is, whether the new philosophy is to be established in its atheistic, its agnostic, or its theistic form.” Cook devoted two chapters to the ‘concessions of evolutionists,’ which indicated to him that agnostic evolutionists like T. H. Huxley were losing the battle to define the religious significance of Darwin’s theory.

  • William James's Early Radical Empiricism
    WILLIAM JAMES’S EARLY RADICAL EMPIRICISM: PSYCHICAL RESEARCH, RELIGION, AND THE “SPIRIT OF INNER TOLERANCE” A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Ermine L. Algaier IV July, 2015 Examining Committee Members: Lucy Bregman, Advisory Chair, Temple University, Department of Religion Terry Rey, Temple University, Department of Religion Joseph Margolis, Temple University, Department of Philosophy Eli Goldblatt, External Member, Temple University, Department of English © Copyright 2015 by Ermine L. Algaier IV All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT In December of 1896 William James (1842-1910) penned the preface to The Will to Believe & Other Essays in Philosophy, announcing his novel philosophy of radical empiricism. Nearly one hundred and twenty years later, the metaphysical themes of his mature radical empiricist writings (e.g., his 1904-05 writings posthumously published as Essays in Radical Empiricism) continue to dominate the interpretations of the secondary literature. “William James’s Early Radical Empiricism: Psychical Research, Religion, and the ‘Spirit of Inner Tolerance’” offers a revisionist reading that prioritizes the epistemic, moral, and social elements of James’s early radical empiricism in light of his concerns expressed in the 1896 preface. By focusing on a close textual analysis that aims to historically and thematically resituate James’s radical empiricism within the context of his major and minor work in the 1880s through the late 1890s, I argue for a supplemental interpretation that emphasizes James’s epistemic sensitivity to the plight of the perceived “irrational” other. This project demonstrates that not only is James’s early radical empiricism concerned with epistemological matters of fact and perspective, but also their social and moral implications.

John Morley. On Compromise What avails it to fight with the eternal laws of mind, which adjust the relation of all persons to each other, by the mathematical measure of their havings and beings? Emerson. Spiritual Laws In the course of my teaching and lecturing in universities and other institutions, I have discovered during the past decade or more an increasing interest in the concept of karma. It comes out in discussion at the slightest provocation and indeed sometimes with no detectable provocation at all. It is not always well understood. Too often it is so ill understood as to be taken for a kind of fatalism, which it certainly is not, being on the contrary a freewill doctrine, although it is much else besides. Yet, understood well or badly, it commands a lively interest, not least on the part of young people who twenty years ago would not have generally found it so challenging to their outlook on life.
