He was unable to accept the severe, quasi-Calvinist theology of his relatives, and when he attended Harvard College, he was influenced by the intellectual currents set in motion by Darwinism. He then moved towards the radical wing of Unitarian theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt was incumbent on the faithful—of any religious tradition—to live in ways that helped further the divine plan. This moral imperative prompted Dole, as the long-term minister in the Unitarian Church, to advocate for reforms not unlike those of his parents and other relatives, including temperance, women’s suffrage, improved race relations, anti-imperialism, and pacifism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis historical recovery and interpretation of Dole argues that while Dole’s radical theology was the source of his civic engagement, his iteration of the social gospel was to some extent also shaped and delimited by the socio-economic position he occupied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933922672876,"sku":"9781666928723","price":133.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781666928723-charles-fletcher-dole-liberal-theology-and-reform.jpg?v=1783883855"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/paul-t-burlin.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
