Known since as the Divinity School Address, delivered to Harvard's graduating divinity class on 15 July 1838. Denies that historical miracle is the ground of religious truth and holds that revelation is renewed directly in each soul; provoked Andrews Norton's public reply the following year (see the dissent recorded on Ralph Waldo Emerson).
