"James Luther Adams has been described as one of the three most significant figures in the history of the Unitarian Universalist denomination by the eminent church historian George Huntston Williams. One of the giants in the Christian social ethics in his generation, Adams was instrumental in introducing Paul Tillich and Ernst Troeltsch to America. His doctoral students have taken significant teaching positions and ethics throughout the country.

Adams gave the closing decade of his life to reflect in a memoir upon his own development as a Christian, and scholar, and activist. he provides a significant account of his development from a Plymouth brethren childhood to becoming a Unitarian minister and scholar".
