First delivered in 1877, these two lectures by Phillips Brooks offer a powerful defense of tolerance and diversity in a rapidly changing world. Brooks argues that the Christian church has a responsibility to be inclusive and open-minded, welcoming people of all backgrounds and beliefs. This timeless message of compassion and understanding is more relevant today than ever before.
