Excerpt from Charles Elwood: Or the Infidel Converted With these remarks I dismiss this little book to its fate. I have taken much pleasure in its composition I have embodied in it the results of years of inquiry and reflection; and I have thought it not ill-adapted to the present state of the public mind in this community. It deals with the weightiest problems of philoso phy and theology, and perhaps some minds may find it not altogether worthless.

This book reveals the origins of the American religious marketplace by examining the life and work of reformer and journalist Orestes Brownson (1803-1876). Grounded in a wide variety of sources, including personal correspondence, journalistic essays, book reviews, and speeches, this work argues that religious sectarianism profoundly shaped participants in the religious marketplace. Brownson is emblematic of this dynamic because he changed his religious identity seven times over a quarter of a century. Throughout, Brownson waged a war of words opposing religious sectarianism. By the 1840s, however, a corrosive intellectual environment transformed Brownson into an arch religious sectarian. The book ends with a consideration of several explanations for Brownson’s religious mobility, emphasizing the goad of sectarianism as the most salient catalyst for change.
