 | | James Martineau was not only an outstanding theologian and philosopher of the nineteenth century, but was also a good, pious and devout man with a keen sense of humour. |
 | | Martineau was able to disseminate this particular emphasis on the spiritual union of man with God throughout Unitarianism in several ways: through hymn books, his published prayers, and sermons, and in his promotion of gothic church architecture, which he felt was conducive to the religion of the Spirit that he was trying to encourage. |
 | | Martineau, Thom, Tayler and Wicksteed, like the members of the Oxford Movement, were affected by the Romanticism of the nineteenth century; they too had been influenced by Scott who had found a new world in the old world, and by Wordsworth who had found an equally new world in the beauty of nature. |
