Theodore Parker was one of the most controversial theologians and
social activists in pre-Civil War America. A vocal critic of
traditional Christian thought and a militant opponent of American
slavery, he led a huge congregation of religious dissenters in the
very heart of Boston, Massachusetts, during the 1840s and 1850s.
This book argues that Parker's radical vision and contemporary
appeal stemmed from his abiding faith in the human conscience and
in the principles of the American revolutionary tradition. A
leading figure in Boston's resistance to the Fugitive Slave Law,
Parker became a key supporter of John Brown's dramatic but
ill-fated raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859. Propelled by a
revolutionary conscience, Theodore Parker stood out as one of the
most fearless religious reformers and social activists of his
generation.
