There really are no books like The Transcendentalists and the Death and Rebirth of Western Philosophical Religion that review the history of Western philosophical religion over the last 2,500 plus years. My book is a unique synthesis of the insights of many scholars, philosophers and historians from classical antiquity until the present. In a radical departure from the Abrahamic faiths, Emerson, Thoreau and the Transcendentalist movement in 19th century Unitarianism saw the locus of religious authority as residing within the individual rather than a religious organization or sacred text. Ancient philosophy as a religious way of life also saw the locus of religious authority as residing within the individual. The classics were center stage in American thought during the founding and early days of the United States and the Transcendentalists were powerfully influenced by classical thought.
