Religion and Liberty

Description

This volume is the official proceedings of the 1903 Amsterdam congress of the International Council of Unitarian and Other Liberal Religious Thinkers and Workers. The collection captures a pivotal moment in the global liberal religious movement at the turn of the 20th century, bringing together leading theologians, scholars, and ministers to discuss the intersection of "Religion and Liberty." It serves as a valuable historical record of the movement's international scope, theological diversity, and shared commitment to freedom of thought, religious fellowship, and social progress.
