Biography
Abner Kneeland was a theologian who advocated for women's rights, racial equality, and religious skepticism. In 1833 he published letters in the Boston Investigator in which he expounded on his recently adopted pantheist philosophy, denying any God other than Nature as well as the uniquely particular divinity of Jesus Christ. For this Kneeland was convicted of blasphemy and sentenced to 60 days.
