Summary "Unitarianism" by W. G. Tarrant is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically around the year 1912. The book delves into the evolution, principles, and significant events associated with Unitarian thought, focusing primarily on its development in England and New England. It captures the movement’s response to traditional Christian doctrines, particularly the Trinity, and the broader implications of religious freedom and rational thought. The text outlines the origin of Unitarianism, tracing its early martyrs and key figures like John Locke and Joseph Priestley, along with the emergence of Unitarian communities in England and their eventual legal recognition. Tarrant discusses foundational principles, including the views on God’s nature, Jesus' role, and the significance of individual conscience in relation to religious practice. The text presents the historical context of Conflicts, such as the opposition faced during the Act of Uniformity and the Toleration Act, while highlighting notable intellectual contributions and the challenges of maintaining unity in a diverse religious landscape. Ultimately, Tarrant illustrates Unitarianism as a dynamic movement characterized by an emphasis on rational spirituality and progressive thought in religious contexts.
