Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the disconnect between the orthodox and unitarian sects of Christianity during the 1830s. The author, a unitarian minister, argues that orthodox leaders were oppressing unitarian ministers and members, using ecclesiastical authority and social pressures to prevent them from practicing their faith freely. The narrative describes a litany of tactics used to maintain control, including the use of human creeds, excommunications, trust deeds, ministerial blacklists, misrepresentations, threats, and oppression. Among other ideas, the author argues that human creeds should not be prioritized over the Bible as religious texts. The book provides an unflinching look at religious intolerance and the persecution of dissenters during a pivotal period in American history. By examining the religious landscape of the time, the author provokes important questions about the relationship between religious liberty, congregationalism, and the pursuit of truth.
