The Collected Works Of Theodore Parker: Lessons From The World Of Matter And The World Of Man by Theodore Parker. This volume, drawn from Parker's sermons and notes compiled by Rufus Leighton (with Prefaces by the editor), gathers selections on how the material world interplays with human life and thought. It surveys the grandeur of nature, the law that governs matter, and the mind's power to understand and transform the world; it argues for a theistic religion grounded in universal love and social justice, rather than orthodox dogma. It treats themes such as the unity of science and religion, education, character, and national life; praises human progress, the moral duties of individuals, and the importance of compassion and philanthropy. It also offers a frank critique of traditional Christianity and presents an active, pragmatic Christianity focused on love of God and love of humanity, embodied in daily conduct, public life, and reform. The book is a 19th-century journey toward a rational, hopeful theism that joins science, ethics, and spirituality.
