  1. Part Four of Fourteen. Containing His Theological, Polemical, and Critical Writings, Sermons, Speeches, and Addresses, and Literary Miscellanies. Theodore Parker was a preacher, lecturer, and writer, a public intellectual, and a religious and social reformer. He played a major role in moving Unitarianism away from being a Bible-based faith, and he established a precedent for clerical activism that has inspired generations of liberal religious leaders. Although ranked with William Ellery Channing as the most important and influential Unitarian minister of the nineteenth century, he was an extremely controversial figure (he was active in the antislavery movement) in his own day and his legacy to Unitarian Universalism remains contested. Contents: A Sermon of War; Speech delivered at the Anti-War Meeting; A Sermon of the Mexican War; The Political Destination of America, and the Signs of the Times; Some Thoughts on the Free-Soil Party and the Election of General Taylor; A Discourse occasioned by the Death of the Late President Taylor; Speech at a Meeting of the Citizens of Boston, to Consider the Speech of Mr. Webster; The State of the Nation, Considered in a Sermon for Thanksgiving Day; Aspect of Freedom in America; A Speech at the Mass; Anti Slavery Celebration of Independence; and A New Lesson for the Day.
