Letters To Unknown Friends

By Lyman Abbott

Book Overview

Letters to Unknown Friends is a collection of personal letters written by Lyman Abbott, an American Congregationalist minister, editor, and author. The letters were originally published in The Outlook, a weekly magazine that Abbott edited from 1893 to 1921. The book contains letters that were written between 1898 and 1921, and they cover a range of topics, including religion, politics, literature, and social issues. The letters are addressed to unknown friends, and Abbott uses them as a way to share his thoughts and ideas with a wider audience. The book provides a unique insight into the mind of a prominent religious leader and social commentator of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Abbott's writing is clear and concise, and he expresses his ideas with a great deal of passion and conviction. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American religion and social thought.For A Number Of Years I Have Been Carrying On A Somewhat Extensive Pastoral Correspondence, And When It Was Proposed To Me To Put Into Book Form Some Of These Letters, In The Hope That They Might Reach A Still Wider Circle Of Readers, I Gladly Accepted.
