Octavius Brooks Frothingham

4.9/5 (28789 ratings)

Description:In politics, his compact definition of a democracy, as “government of the people, by the people, for the people,” recurred with similar constancy. We think of those as Lincoln's words but they came from Theodore Parker. Criticized by other clerics, called a heretic in the press, Parker was one of the most brilliant theologians and social reformers of the 19th century in America. He was a powerful preacher whose flock included Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Louisa May Alcott, William Lloyd Garrison, and Julia Ward Howe. He was part of the Transcendentalist movement of Ralph Waldo Emerson. A passionate advocate for social reform, he was most avid in his opposition to slavery. He was a supporter of women's rights and questioned the authority of the Bible. He was wedded to finding what he thought was truthful in religion and his faith guided everything he did. He died in Italy on May 10, 1860. When Frederick Douglas later visited Florence, he immediately went from the train station to visit Parker’s grave. An eloquent speaker and writer, modern audiences will find him a fascinating thinker and contemporary in his style.
