On the Side of Liberty

A range of articles by a distinguished historian of Unitarianism, presenting some of the individuals who have shaped the development of Unitarian thought in Great Britain over the past 300 years. From the famous to the almost forgotten, the singular individuals encountered in this book all upheld religious or political liberty, sometimes at great cost to themselves. The author considers them in their particular historical contexts and brings them to life with distinctive extracts from their own writings.
