Isaac Morgan Atwood

Isaac Morgan Atwood (1838-1917) was an American Universalist minister, journalist, and educator, born in Pembroke, New York, and ordained in 1861. He was president of the Canton Theological School at St. Lawrence University from 1879 to 1898, then became the first general superintendent of the Universalist General Convention, serving from 1898 until 1907, and afterward the convention's secretary; late in life he returned to St. Lawrence as professor of theology and philosophy. His books include Walks about Zion (1882), Revelation (1889), and A System of Christian Doctrine (1900).

Ten lectures surveying the Christian landscape by Isaac Morgan Atwood, president of the theological school at Canton and later the denomination's first general superintendent. Atwood walks 'about Zion' — examining the doctrines, the churches, and the state of religion — with the irenic confidence of late-century Universalism, more interested in claiming the broad Christian inheritance than in fighting the old battles.
