Hardcover. 1st edition. xv, 239 p.; 21 cm. `If, then, we are to number our faiths, the so-called "fourth" is really a second faith which stands in contrast to the tripartite American faith Herberg and others have described. The other three have in common their acceptance of the Judeo-Christian tradition in its many forms. The fourth faith rejects the claims to priority, per-eminence, divine authority, truth, and revelation the other three faiths are accumstome to make. It goes further. It not merely rejects these claims severally as unjustified, it rejects on principle the claim of any religion to priority, pre-eminence, divine authority, truth, and revelation.'

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Liberalism in religion grew strong in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, then collapsed. Why, when so many people hunger for religious expression unhampered by traditionalism Duncan Howlett argues that a fatal flaw at the heart of the movement undercut its progress. The Liberals were unwilling or unable to hold to their own central principle: the need to maintain a free and open mind, heart, and spirit in religion. In the end Liberalism always fell back on its understanding of the basic traditions and dogmas of the organized religions. Alert minds drawn to Liberalism by the prospect of complete freedom of thought in religion felt betrayed, and many abandoned the movement. Howlett summons us to a new and self-consistent Liberalism, one that tests to the uttermost the validity of every belief we hold. True Liberalism means a continuing quest for ever broader and deeper concepts of truth. It means allowing no exceptions to the standards of inquiry that religious Liberals inherited from the Enlightenment and from science. Is there then no end to the search for truth when the mind, heart, and spirit are completely free Does a thorough-going Liberalism give us nothing to believe in or to live by Howlett's answer is clear and emphatic. The latter half of the book spells out the positive beliefs of a self-consistent Liberalism and the demands those beliefs place upon us.…

Zustand: VERY GOOD. First printing. "The Spiritual Odyssey that Ended in an Act of Violence in the Streets of Selma, Alabama and Galvanized the Conscience of a Nation." James Reeb was a white minister, working for social justice in the Roxbury ghetto of Boston, when he went to Selma, Alabama in response to Martin Luther King's call for clergy of all denominations to make a stand for civil rights. Two days later, leaving a restaurant with two fellow Unitarian ministers, he was brutally murdered. The author of this biography based it on his extensive research and interviews with those who knew Reeb, and also his own personal experience of working with Reeb in the 5 years before his death.

262 pages. 3 feuillets. (23x14,5cm). Broché. Couverture illustrée brunie avec taches et signes de mouillures. Dos frotté avec peites déchirures marginales. Coins émoussés. Cet ouvrage, publié à Paris en 1958, s'inscrit dans un contexte de redécouverte et d'interprétation des manuscrits de la Mer Morte, découverts une décennie plus tôt. Duncan Howlett, avec la préface d'A. Dupont-Sommer, propose une analyse des liens potentiels entre les Esséniens, une communauté juive ancienne, et les origines du christianisme. À une époque où l'histoire religieuse connaît un regain d'intérêt, cette traduction de S. M. Guillemin offre aux lecteurs francophones une perspective éclairante sur les croyances et pratiques des premiers siècles de notre ère, établissant un dialogue entre passé lointain et questionnements contemporains sur les racines du christianisme.

Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition, First Printing. A DEATH IN SELMA - A NATION CONFRONTS ITS CONSCIENCE. In March 1965, Unitarian minister James Reeb traveled to Selma, Alabama, to join the struggle for voting rights. Brutally attacked by white segregationists, he died two days later. His murder intensified national outrage and helped focus public attention on the violence confronting the Civil Rights Movement. THE MINISTER WHO ANSWERED SELMA'S CALL. Duncan Howlett's No Greater Love traces Reeb's journey from Presbyterian minister to committed Unitarian social activist, exploring the convictions that brought him to Selma. Drawing upon interviews with family members, colleagues, and civil rights leaders, Howlett presents an intimate portrait of a man whose religious faith demanded action. Published just one year after Reeb's death, this first edition preserves an immediate account of one of the defining episodes in the campaign for voting rights. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: FIRST EDITION - ILLUSTRATED BIOGRAPHY. +++ Original publisher's hardcover binding with illustrated dust jacket. Includes a section of black-and-white photographs documenting Reeb's life and the Civil Rights Movement. +++ Octavo (8vo), 8.5 inches tall. xii, [1], 242 pages, including index. +++ First Edition, First Printing, published by Harper & Row in 1966. +++ Original dust jacket with printed price of $4.95. CONDITION: NEAR FINE IN A VERY GOOD-Plus DUST JACKET. Book Near Fine, with minimal shelf handling. Binding tight and square; interior clean and unmarked. Original dust jacket Very Good-Plus, with only a hint of corner wear. Publisher's $4.95 price remains intact. A particularly attractive copy. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: SELMA, RELIGIOUS CONSCIENCE & THE VOTING RIGHTS MOVEMENT. James Reeb was among the clergy who answered Martin Luther King Jr.'s call to support voting rights demonstrators in Selma following the violence of Bloody Sunday, March 7, 1965. Attacked on March 9, Reeb died on March 11. His death received widespread national attention, and President Lyndon B. Johnson referred to his murder in his March 15 address to Congress urging passage of voting rights legislation. THE ROLE OF RELIGIOUS ACTIVISM. Reeb's life illustrates the involvement of religious leaders in the Civil Rights Movement and the belief that faith carried obligations beyond the pulpit. His death also reveals the unequal public attention given to victims of racial violence, including Black activists whose sacrifices received less national recognition. Published close to the events it describes, Howlett's biography remains a valuable contemporary account of the intersection of religious conviction, nonviolent protest, and the struggle for voting rights.
