A solid reading copy.Twelve sermons from John H. Dietrich (1878-1957), then minister of the First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis (1916-1936) and widely regarded as one of the principal founders of American religious humanism. The biographical addresses (Darwin, Wallace, Spencer, Huxley, Haeckel, Fiske) were delivered as a series on alternate Sunday mornings in the autumn of 1926; the topical addresses on evolution and religion, Christianity, and progress were delivered at other times in the preceding years. Dietrich's January 1927 foreword situates the project explicitly as a response to "these days of dreadful reaction against scientific knowledge and intelligent research" (that is, to the post-Scopes anti-evolution movement).Contents: I.
