Rejecting many of their father's Puritan beliefs, the deeply religious Beechers nevertheless embraced his quest to exert moral influence. They disagreed over issues of slavery, women's rights, and religion and found themselves at the center of race riots, denominational splits, college protests, a civil war, and one of the most public sex scandals in American history. They were nonetheless unified in their \"Beecherism\"--a phrase used to describe their sense of self-importance in reforming the nation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eObbie Tyler Todd's masterful work is the first biography of the Beechers in more than forty years and the first chronological portrait of one of the most influential families in nineteenth-century America.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eObbie Tyler Todd\u003c\/b\u003e is pastor of Third Baptist Church in Marion, Illinois, and adjunct professor of church history at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
