Review Quotes:
"Harris's new edition of Historical Dictionary of Unitarian Universalism reflects the passage of 15 years in US culture as well as in Unitarian Universalism. Nearly a hundred pages longer than the first edition (CH, Jul'04, 41-6249), this second edition features a historical introduction that is twice as long as the original and 80 new entries. The character of these new entries is noteworthy: there are more entries on African Americans, living leaders in the arts and sciences, and female authors (e.g., Beatrix Potter). There is also an LGBTQ entry and greater focus on the global nature of Unitarian congregations. Harris also covers the social justice Standing on the Side of Love campaign, now called Side with Love. As a scholar and a Unitarian Universalist minister, Harris has a deep understanding of this unique and influential group and its social justice history. Those who own the first edition will want to update to this second edition, which includes 400 cross-referenced entries, a chronology, and three useful appendixes.
Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals; general readers." --Choice Reviews
