  James Freeman Clarke - LoveToKnow 1911
JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE (1810-1888), American preacher and author, was born in Hanover, New Hampshire, on the 4th of April 1810.
From 1836 until 1839 he was editor of the Western Messenger, a magazine intended to carry to readers in the Mississippi Valley simple statements of "liberal religion," involving what were then the most radical appeals as to national duty, especially the abolition of slavery.
Most of Clarke's earlier published writings were addressed to the immediate need of establishing a larger theory of religion than that espoused by people who were still trying to be Calvinists, people who maintained what a good American phrase calls "hard-shelled churches." But it would be wrong to call his work controversial.

Clarke’s autobiography describes the sophisticated Boston-educated young minister’s struggles to function in the raw river town of Louisville—with its muddy, unpaved streets, its rowdy, hard-drinking riverboat gamblers, and its unlettered farm families in town to market their produce.
Clarke’s years of biblical study had brought him to see Jesus as both a conservative and a reformer, not replacing the Law but fulfilling it, and the divinely inspired religion of Jesus not only as compatible with reason but as the very rational foundation of science.
