In "Two Christmas Celebrations," Theodore Parker delves into the rich tapestry of Christian traditions, juxtaposing the solemnity of Christmas with the secular joy that accompanies the holiday season. Parkers literary style is characterized by eloquent prose fused with profound theological insights, reflecting the transcendentalist movement of the 19th century. The text weaves together historical anecdotes, personal reflections, and sociocultural observations, encouraging readers to contemplate the deeper meaning of Christmas beyond its commercial aspects. Parkers dual examination of Christmas invites readers to engage with spirituality amidst the festivities, fostering a nuanced appreciation of both foundational Christian principles and emerging secular values. Theodore Parker, a prominent Unitarian minister, abolitionist, and transcendentalist, was often regarded as a radical thinker of his time. His deeply held beliefs in social justice and moral integrity, particularly pertaining to issues of equality and human rights, undoubtedly influenced his contemplations on Christmas, a holy season that embodies compassion and goodwill. Parkers commitment to reformative ideals, along with his eloquent oratory, echoes throughout this work as he seeks to inspire introspection and ethical living through celebration. I recommend "Two Christmas Celebrations" to readers seeking a thoughtful exploration of the Christmas season that transcends mere sentimentality. Parkers compelling prose and philosophical reflections offer invaluable insights for both believers and secularists alike, encouraging a more profound engagement with the themes of joy, altruism, and spiritual awakening as we navigate the complexities of contemporary celebrations.

His commitment to social reform, evident in his advocacy for the working class and critique of social injustices, informed his theological perspectives.

Chestertons characteristics would probably meet with the literary surprise of his life, when, after reading the plain, simple introduction, he would proceed to peruse the pages of Orthodoxy and find himself at once dazzled, perplexed, delighted by this blaze of wit, paradox, epigram, sarcasm, Johnsonian common sense, original ways of looking at things which everybody knows, deep philosophic argument served out in terms of the most commonplace thought, and some of the great truths of reliion tested effectively and favorably by inspecting them upside down. The book is meant to be a companion to Heretics, in which Chesterton attacked some of the current philosophies.

In the following pages are reproduced the contents of some lectures delivered by me at Copenhagen in June last, in connection with the General Meeting of the Scandinavian Theosophical Society. What is here set forth was therefore spoken to an audience acquainted with occult science, or theosophy. A similar acquaintance is assumed in this work. It is throughout based on the foundations given in my books, "Theosophy" and "An Outline of Occult Science." To anyone taking up the present work who is unacquainted with these premises, it must needs appear the strange outpouring of mere fancy, but the above-named books point out the scientific basis of everything stated in this one.I have completely re-written the shorthand report of the lectures; nevertheless it has been my intention on publishing them, to preserve the character given in oral delivery. This is specially mentioned because it is in general my opinion that the form of work intended for reading should be quite different from that used in speaking. I have expressed this principle of mine in all my earlier writings, as far as they were intended for the press.[4] If in this instance I have worked out my subject in closer connection with the spoken word, it is because I have reasons for letting the work appear at this juncture, and an adaptation completely in accordance with the above rule would take a great deal of time.Rudolf Steiner.Munich, August 20, 1911.

John Nelson Darby comments on every single chapter of The Gospel Of Luke. The author was not only an evangelist, but also one of the pioneers of the Dispensionalists movement.

The saint wrote this luminous exposition of infused prayer in all its gradations and qualities, while she was suffering from a furious persecution. And yet it breathes that heavenly calmness peculiar to spirits dwelling in the loftier regions of heavenly peace. Like all of her writings she composed this one under a very stringent obedience from her confessor, at that time Canon Velasquez, afterwards Archbishop of Compostella. It is curiously allegorical in its framework; and yet the high topics are very plainly treated of, and they are made as intelligible to ordinary readers as is possible; all the more so, in fact, on account of the comparison she adopts between the stages of the souls advancement in prayer, and the progress of a guest in a magnificent castle passing from its outer to its interior splendors. The style is familiar, yet the tone is stately, often even majestic. The author sheds a clear light, clear though dazzling, on the vague and distant and ravishingly beautiful states of contemplative prayer
