Joseph Henry Allen (1820 – 1898) was a Unitarian clergyman and author from Massachusetts. He attended a school his father ran, and then later attended Harvard College, graduating from its Divinity School in 1843. From 1843-1857, he served as a clergyman in three different regions: Massachusetts, Maine and Washington DC. After 1857, he focused on teaching and writing. Some of his works included Ten Discourses on Orthodoxy (1849), A Latin Primer (1870), and Our Liberal Movement in Theology, chiefly as Shown in Recollections of the History of Unitarianism in New England (1882)
Unitarianism is a theological movement which at its start proclaimed that God is a singular entity, rather than a trinity. It rejects other tenants common in Christianity, such as the concept of original sin and the Bible as infallible. The belief emerged during the 1600s and spread quickly through Europe and the United States, particularly among the educated and wealthy classes. Its evolution since has been towards humanism.
This new edition is dedicated to Mark Ryan, keen observer of faiths and apt scholar of beliefs.
