As we approach the bicentennial of Emerson's birth, God in Concord returns us to the power and purity of Emerson's vision. Geldard shows in the private journals the path Emerson took to his revolutionary position as America's seer. He gives us an Emerson who hears the moaning of the human heart and responds, taking us beyond romantic notions or sentimental attachments.

Spiritual Teachings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Part II,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: God in Concord: Ralph Waldo Emerson's Awakening to the Infinite (Hardcover)
Another beautiful book on the works of Emerson by Geldard. Geldard's commentary on the spiritually oriented themes of Emerson is sober and more important, intelligent. Geldard's books bring dignity to the discussion of a topic that is so often sugar coated with self-help tactics and exotic new age remedies. His commentary is selfless, almost seamless with the works discussed and never takes center stage. This book is truly one that adds quality to an already magnificent Emerson.
