Theodore Parker (1810-1860) was a Unitarian minister, reformer, and influential American thinker in the middle years of the nineteenth century. He spoke and wrote against slavery and was active in its abolition: sheltering fugitive slaves, supporting John Brown in his raid on Harper's Ferry and defending him after his capture. A radical critic of traditional Christianity, Parker veered away from the Bible and emphasized a personal experience of the divine.
