Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The World of Matter and the Spirit of Man: Latest Discourse of Religion
These sermons indicate clearly the remarkable de gree to which Parker kept abreast of the growing knowledge and thought of his day, and even much in advance of them. He welcomed every phase of the scientific advance being made around him, and he hailed with enthusiasm the labors of Darwin, which came im perfectly to his knowledge in the last months of his life. No theist of 1858 could have anticipated more completely than he the reconstruction of theological opinions resulting from the theory of evolution.
I may venture to think that nothing has yet been written which shows so complete an acceptance of man's relations to the universe, and yet so profound a piety, as some of the sermons contained in this volume.
