Book Description
James Martineau was for more than four decades a professor in what is now Oxford's Harris Manchester College. His theology integrates the very personal in religious experience with the transcendent and seeks to infuse daily living with the sense of divinity. He retained a sense of awe which rationalism sometimes excludes, and in some ways anticipated Albert Schweitzer's ideas of reverence for life. Notably, Schweitzer also had connections with Harris Manchester.

Book Description
Excerpt from James Martineau Theologian and Teacher: A Study of His Life and Thought This book has been written at the invitation of the British and Foreign Unitarian Association, to describe the Life and Work of Dr. Martineau in. Briefer compass than was possible to his first biographers. The many sided activity of his unusually long career touched contemporary thought at various points and he became widely known through English-speaking lands as one of the leading champions of a spiritual religion, from whom men of all churches might have something to learn. Moreover, for the new generation of the household of faith, with which Dr. Martineau was associated to his latest days, it seemed desirable to relate in some detail the story of the change effected chiefly by his genius Operating on the theological, philosophical, and scientific development of his time. On the organised expression of this change he bestowed long and earnest attention, and the history of English Unitarianism as a mode of religious belief and life in the Nineteenth Century cannot be understood apart from him. Readers who find such topics of less interest, because the area of their application is small, can easily pass over the chapters in which they are presented.

Excerpt from Recollections of James Martineau: With Some Letters From Him and an Essay on His Religion As this little volume is intended to deal with James Martineau principally as a great spiritual teacher and as a friend in private life, it is scarcely necessary to say very much about the merely external events of his life, though I have a good deal to say as to his personality and his conversations with me. I will give only a brief statement of such outward circumstances as helped to determine his intellectual, moral, and religious character. A very good summary of his long life may be found in an article about him in the "Dictionary of National Biography." No doubt, my friend's French Protestant ancestry to a great extent helped to determine his moral and intellectual nature. His father was a man of fine character, but not remarkable intellectually. His mother was a woman of great force of mind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from James Martineau: A Biography and Study To Horatio Stebbins. Dear Friend, whose noble presence fails to show The regal grandeur of thy inner plan, - Patrician mien, but an imperial man, - I link thy name with that of Martineau. He sage; thou prophet. His the orient glow Of one who all surveys from peak of Darien; Thine, to call back dead souls to life again, Isaiah's flame, the tones of Cicero. He is the Phosphor of the coming day; Awakener thou of those who dwell in night. Through him men see the heights, through thee adore; And they who write your epitaphs should say Of him, "He touched the mountain crests with light;" Of thee, "He thrilling witness to its glory bore."
