New Book | "Do Not Misunderstand Me": The Collected Radical Addresses to the Unity Congregation (1888-1891)
Hugh O. Pentecost | Edited by Robert P. Helms | Frayed Edge Press
From the Publisher:
These politically and socially radical addresses were originally given to Pentecost's Unity Congregation, which he started in late 1887 after breaking with mainstream Christian denominations. The texts of the addresses were subsequently published in Pentecost's journal, Twentieth Century, and are collected here for the first time. They concern social justice issues which are as pertinent today as they were in Pentecost's time: poverty, income inequality, the death penalty, education, child labor, women's rights, and more. These addresses stand as important artifacts expressing the philosophies behind many of the radical reform movements of the late 19th century, while still holding meaning for our current time. An introductory essay and extensive footnotes from editor Robert P. Helms add important context for these addresses.
