William Ellery Channing

Japanese: チャニング - ちゃにんぐ(英語表記)William Ellery Channing
William Ellery Channing

An American theologian and leader of the Unitarian movement. Born in Rhode Island. Graduated from Harvard University in 1798. In his 1819 sermon "Unitarian Christian Doctrine" in Baltimore, he opposed the doctrine of the Trinity, and in contrast to the traditional interpretation of sin (original sin), he recognized the divinity of human conscience and considered it a sin to disobey the dictates of conscience. The following year, in 1820, he founded the Liberal Pastors' Association, which developed into the American Unitarian Association in 1825. He was not only a great preacher, but also a clear writer. Many of his sermons, essays, letters, etc. are collected in The Works of William Ellery Channing . Channing's ideas had a significant influence on Emerson's Transcendentalism.

アメリカの神学者でユニテリアン運動の指導者。ロード・アイランド州の生まれ。1798年ハーバード大学を卒業。1819年にボルティモアで行った説教「ユニテリアン・キリスト教義」のなかで、三位(さんみ)一体説に反対し、罪についての伝統的な解釈(原罪説)に対して人間の良心に神性を認め、良心の指示に従わないことを罪とした。そして翌1820年に自由主義牧師会をつくり、それが発展して1825年に「アメリカ・ユニテリアン協会」が組織された。彼は偉大な説教者というだけではなく、明晳(めいせき)な著述者でもあった。『チャニング著作集』The works of William Ellery Channingに多くの説教、論文、手紙等が集録されている。チャニングの思想はエマソンの超越論Transcendentalismに著しい影響を及ぼした。
