Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philosophy of William Ellery Channing The purpose of this book is to draw attention to certain aspects of Channing's thought which were, I believe, of fundamental importance in his own eyes, but which do not appear hitherto to have attracted sufficient consideration. In my Opinion Channing' s status as a thinker has not received adequate recognition; indeed, in my judgment, he is one of the outstanding figures in the history oc r1st1an th.ought Whether this estimate be sound the reader will have ample opportunity for deciding in View of the evidence which Is placed before him. In any case, I think that he will agree that Channing's constructive work was at least as significant as the destructive polemic which is so widely associated with his name. And the basic principle upon which it rests is the doctrine of essential sameness which is the intellectual justifica tion of the mystical interest which so largely dominated his thinking, and became ever more manifest until its close. Such is the thesis which I endeavor to substantiate. I take great pleasure in acknowledging my obligations to Professors Katherine Gilbert of Duke University, James Luther Adams of the Meadville School of Religion, and Edward D. Myers of Washington and Lee University, who read the typescript of this book in whole or in part, and in thanking them for the numerous valuable suggestions which they so kindly proffered. Needless to say, I alone am responsible for all the interpretations offered and the conclusions advanced, but to them, and to many other friends, too numerous to mention, whose encouragement has been a keen stimulus, my gratitude is as profound as it is inefiaceable.

Download or read book William Ellery Channing His Opinions Genius and Character written by Henry W. Bellows and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Ellery Channing, His Opinions, Genius and Character: A Discourse, Given at Newport, R. I., On the Celebration of the Centenary of His Birth, April 7, 1880 Channing recognized no theology based upon a revelation which by interpretation separated Christianity from the gen eral history of humanity, and placed it, and must ever keep it, in antagonism to Philosophy and Life. He did not con sider theology as the study of God, within the covers of the Bible, as if that were a book foreign to human intelligence, and altogether above and aside from it. He resisted stoutly, from the irrepressible freedom of his own soul, all compulsory allegiance to the Church, to the creeds, to the past, to Jesus, nay to God himself, and strove to emancipate all other souls from this prostration before mere power and authority. It was not necessary to bind him with cords to the altar, if the Being worshiped there was entitled, as he thought he was, by his holiness, justice, and goodness, to the sacrifice of his heart. Freely, joyfully, humbly, and with his whole soul he bowed before truth, worth, goodness, purity, sacredness, and in the testimonies of his own spiritual nature he saw them, to an infinite extent, in the Great Source of his own moral experi ences. But not one joint would he bend before the threats of mere power, or the assumptions of an authority not guar anteed by his rational and moral nature.
