Ralph Waldo Emerson gave this speech to the Harvard Divinity School in 1838. In it, Emerson goes against traditional Christian thought by emphasizing intuition and the human individual in discovering divine laws. Even more controversial, Emerson offers a unique view of Jesus Christ that places significance on his humanity.
