The author defines Yesterday's Radicals as nineteenth-century
Anglican Broad Churchmen and Unitarians, and aims in his book to
demonstrate the affinities between them and the manners in which
they influenced each other. The Broad Churchmen constituted the
progressive wing of the Anglican Church, who were interested in
science, Biblical criticism, a rational approach to religion, and
who were leaders in the attempt to relate the Church's teaching to
the new thoughts and conditions of the nineteenth century. But they
were not alone. The Unitarians were possessed of a similar spirit,
and came to regard reason and conscience as the criteria of belief
and practice. This book demonstrates the growing respect between
them, as they tried to grapple with the problems of their day. It
lucidly takes the reader through the ramifications and complexities
of Biblical criticism, and discusses the answers given to the
problems of Biblical inspiration and miracles, amongst others. It
demonstrates how Unitarians and Broad Churchmen affected each
other, and that much of which is now taken for granted in
enlightened theological circles was developed by Yesterday's
Radicals. The author traverses territory not previously opened up
in this way, for the affinity between these groups has hitherto not
been the subject of analysis. This pioneering study was awarded the
Earl Morse Wilbur Prize for Historical Research.
