About This Book

A commemorative discourse examines a nineteenth-century religious leader primarily as a teacher, surveying his doctrinal corrections, aphoristic philosophical teachings, and public influence. It outlines historical beliefs of earlier American religion, defines prophecy, and contrasts sectarian errors with the leader's doctrines on revelation, the nature of God, creation, human origin, and salvation. Emphasis falls on the eternity of intelligence and elements, knowledge as essential to exaltation, moral agency under divine law, and concise generalized sayings; it concludes by situating him within an American religious and civic context.
