Excerpt from James Martineau Theologian and Teacher: A Study of His Life and Thought This book has been written at the invitation of the British and Foreign Unitarian Association, to describe the Life and Work of Dr. Martineau in. Briefer compass than was possible to his first biographers. The many sided activity of his unusually long career touched contemporary thought at various points and he became widely known through English-speaking lands as one of the leading champions of a spiritual religion, from whom men of all churches might have something to learn. Moreover, for the new generation of the household of faith, with which Dr. Martineau was associated to his latest days, it seemed desirable to relate in some detail the story of the change effected chiefly by his genius Operating on the theological, philosophical, and scientific development of his time. On the organised expression of this change he bestowed long and earnest attention, and the history of English Unitarianism as a mode of religious belief and life in the Nineteenth Century cannot be understood apart from him. Readers who find such topics of less interest, because the area of their application is small, can easily pass over the chapters in which they are presented.

This book deals with reactions to geological discoveries in early nineteenth-century England. How did theologians cope with new scientific evidence of the antiquity of the world which was contrary to accepted biblical chronology? And what repercussions did this picture have on philosophers, poets and novelists? The first part of the book concentrates on Charles Lyell's religious and scientific views. This is followed by a study of William Buckland, Adam Segdwick and William Whewell, three clergymen who were also geologists. The last section explores the literary reception of the revolutionary discoveries of Lyell and his contemporaries.

This book vividly recovers the lost world of the Victorians in which everyone thought, spoke, and argued through scripture. Larsen presents lively individual case studies of well known figures from different religious and sceptical traditions, including Florence Nightingale, T. H. Huxley, C. H. Spurgeon and Catherine Booth.
