Contested Words
Ever since the nineteenth century, when Robert Baird published the first single-volume history of religion in the United States, scholars of early America have debated how to define three contested words: history, America , and religion .

Paul B. Moyer. The Public Universal Friend
In 1776 Jemima Wilkinson, a twenty-three-year-old woman from Cumberland, Rhode Island, woke up from a severe illness and claimed to have been transformed into the Public Universal Friend, a genderless spirit sent by God.

This book explores the lives of three generations of women in the Eliot family, a prominent family in the Unitarian tradition.
