The Last of the Heretics is a book written by Algernon Sidney Crapsey. The book is a memoir of his life and his struggles as a theologian and a religious leader during the early 20th century. Crapsey was a controversial figure in the Episcopal Church, and his views on theology and the Bible were considered heretical by many of his contemporaries. The book describes his experiences as a pastor in several different churches, his conflicts with church authorities, and his eventual defrocking by the Episcopal Church. The Last of the Heretics is a fascinating account of one man's struggle to reconcile his faith with his intellectual beliefs, and it provides a unique perspective on the religious debates of the early 20th century. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion and theology in America.1924. A heretic is one who thinks and gives voice to his own thought; chooses his own way; does not easily submit to authority. Spiritually and intellectually, Crapsey was constantly on the move. If this book does nothing else, it will manifest to the world the inconvenience of a creedal religion and the manifest absurdity, not to say the immorality, of vows of any kind and of priestly vows in particular.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
