Summary "Unitarianism in America: A History of its Origin and Development" by George Willis Cooke is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the origins of Unitarianism in the United States, including its development, organizational structures, and impact on American society. It discusses the theological controversies that led to Unitarianism's emergence and highlights the practical aspects of the faith, such as its various charities and social reforms. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth examination of Unitarianism's beginnings, tracing its roots back to English philosophical movements like individualism and rationalism during the Renaissance and Reformation. Cooke outlines how these ideas influenced early American Puritanism and contributed to the growth of liberal religious thought in New England. He expresses a clear intent to provide a candid account for those unfamiliar with Unitarianism, emphasizing its attempt to harmonize religion with modern philosophy and science while acknowledging its historical challenges and influences.
