Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from James Martineau Theologian and Teacher: A Study of His Life and Thought This book has been written at the invitation of the British and Foreign Unitarian Association, to describe the Life and Work of Dr. Martineau in briefer compass than was possible to his first biographers. The many-sided activity of his unusually long career touched contemporary thought at various points; and he became widely known through English-speaking lands as one of the leading champions of a spiritual religion, from whom men of all churches might have something to learn. Moreover, for the new generation of the household of faith, with which Dr. Martineau was associated to his latest days, it seemed desirable to relate in some detail the story of the change effected chiefly by his genius operating on the theological, philosophical, and scientific development of his time. On the organised expression of this change he bestowed long and earnest attention, and the history of English Unitarianism as a mode of religious belief and life in the Nineteenth Century cannot be understood apart from him. Readers who find such topics of less interest, because the area of their application is small, can easily pass over the chapters in which they are presented. My obligations to the two volumes of The Life and Letters, by Principal Drummond and Prof. Upton, of course far exceed the references on the printed page. They first told a continuous story, and made possible such a supplemental study as is here offered. To Principal Drummond I am further indebted for copies of the letters to the Rev. George Crabbe (son of the poet Crabbe) which came into his possession after the Life was published: and Prof. Upton kindly handed to me the printed extract from the Publications of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts, vol. vi., containing the letters to the Rev. J. H. Allen, which became available in the same way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
