Synopsis

This book delves into the character and contradictions of renowned preacher Theodore Parker. It draws on the author's close personal relationship with Parker, offering a unique perspective on the man's life, beliefs, and motivations. The author explores how Parker's radical ideas often put him at odds with his peers, and examines the balance between his sternness in public and the softer side of his character revealed in private. Despite Parker's vehement nature and controversial views on the miracles of Jesus Christ, the author argues that he was fundamentally driven by a deep love for humanity and a relentless pursuit of progress. In a time of sweeping societal changes, Parker's story serves as a reminder of the power of both moral conviction and intellectual rigor in shaping the course of history.
