Humanism In New England Theology (1920) - George Angier Gordon - Bog

Humanism in New England Theology is a book written by George Angier Gordon and published in 1920. The book explores the impact of humanism on the development of theology in New England during the 19th century. Gordon argues that the rise of humanism in the region had a significant influence on the way that theologians approached issues such as the nature of God, the role of religion in society, and the relationship between faith and reason. He examines the work of prominent theologians such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Theodore Parker, and Horace Bushnell, and shows how their ideas were shaped by humanistic principles. The book also explores the tensions that arose between traditional Christian beliefs and the new ideas of humanism, and how these tensions were resolved in different ways by different theologians. Overall, Humanism in New England Theology provides a fascinating insight into the intellectual and cultural history of New England, and sheds light on the complex relationship between religion and humanism in the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
