Unitarianism in America

George Willis Cooke's Unitarianism in America is the standard introduction to the history of this unorthodox religion. From the early Arians and Socinians of the late 18th and early 19th Centuries through the Transcendentalists to the Ultra-Modernism of the the turn of the 20th Century Cooke shows how Unitarianism changed the nature of orthodoxy and orthopraxy from a fossilized paradigm of accepted behavior patters to a fluid and dynamic paradigm generated from honest and questioning patterns of thinking.
