Description: Phillips Brooks Year Book ***Collection of writings by Phillips Brooks (1835-1893), prominent Boston Episcopal clergyman. He is famous for writing the lyrics of the Christmas carol "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and for introducing Helen Keller to Christianity.*** Brooks's understanding of individuals and of other religious traditions gained a following across a broad segment of society, as well as increased support for the Episcopal Church. Within his lifetime, he received honorary degrees from Harvard (1877) and Columbia (1887), and the Doctor of Divinity degree by the University of Oxford, England (1885). Published in 1893 by Dutton.
