The first part provides an introduction to Unitarianism, explaining its history, beliefs, and practices. The second part consists of a series of discourses on various topics related to Unitarianism, including the nature of God, the divinity of Jesus, and the role of reason in religion. The third part contains discussions and debates between Dewey and other theologians, including a debate with a prominent Presbyterian minister on the nature of the Trinity.Throughout the book, Dewey argues that Unitarianism is a rational and moral religion that is consistent with the teachings of Jesus and the Bible. He also emphasizes the importance of reason and critical thinking in religious belief, rejecting blind faith and dogmatism.Discourses and Discussions in Explanation and Defense of Unitarianism is an important work in the history of Unitarianism and provides valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of this religious movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
