A Discourse of Matters Pertaining to Religion: The Collected Works of Theodore Parker V1 is a book that contains the complete works of Theodore Parker, a prominent American Transcendentalist and Unitarian minister who lived in the 19th century. The book is the first volume of a series that compiles all of Parker's writings on religion, philosophy, and social justice.The book is divided into several sections, each of which contains a different type of writing by Parker. These sections include sermons, essays, lectures, and letters. The writings cover a wide range of topics related to religion, including the nature of God, the role of religion in society, and the relationship between religion and science.Parker's writings are known for their progressive and liberal views, which often challenged the traditional religious beliefs of his time. He was a strong advocate for social justice and equality, and his writings reflect his commitment to these values. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American religious thought, as well as for those interested in progressive theology and social justice.1863. Part One of Fourteen. Theodore Parker was a preacher, lecturer, and writer, a public intellectual, and a religious and social reformer. He played a major role in moving Unitarianism away from being a Bible-based faith, and he established a precedent for clerical activism that has inspired generations of liberal religious leaders. Although ranked with William Ellery Channing as the most important and influential Unitarian minister of the nineteenth century, he was an extremely controversial figure (he was active in the antislavery movement) in his own day and his legacy to Unitarian Universalism remains contested. A Discourse of Matters, a Transcendentalist manifesto, is a course of lectures wherein Parker systematically lays out his ideas about inspiration, Jesus, the Bible, and the church.
