Sobre IBD

This book began with a trunk of manuscripts written by my grandfather, Earl Clement Davis (1876-1953) who was a Unitarian minister from 1905-1953. Born a year after he died, I never knew him.

Growing up without any religion, I was surprised to discover in these century-old writings a compelling approach to religion, one that resonates with the struggles we face today.

My grandfather denied any supernatural aspects of religion. He was an enthusiastic advocate for science. He vigorously argued against all authoritarian forms of governance—religious and civil.

He believed in human divinity—the “living God”—the power of humans to pursue the ideals of truth, beauty and goodness to make the world better, a heaven on earth, what I call “Natural Religion.”
