Publisher's Synopsis
Liberal Religious Thought At The Beginning Of The Twentieth Century is a book written by William Copeland Bowie in 1901. The book explores the evolution of liberal religious thought in the early 1900s, a time when traditional religious beliefs were being challenged by new scientific discoveries and social changes. Bowie examines the works of prominent liberal theologians of the time, including William James, Henry Ward Beecher, and Theodore Parker, and discusses their ideas on the nature of God, the role of religion in society, and the relationship between faith and reason. The book also delves into the impact of historical criticism on biblical interpretation, and the emergence of new religious movements such as Unitarianism and Universalism. Overall, Liberal Religious Thought At The Beginning Of The Twentieth Century provides a comprehensive overview of the intellectual and religious climate of the early 1900s and the challenges faced by liberal religious thinkers during this time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
