The Gadfly Papers: Three Inconvenient Essays by One Pesky Minister

by Todd F. Eklof

The Gadfly Papers is a collection of three essays written by Rev. Dr. Todd F. Eklof about the negative impacts the emerging culture of Political Correctness, Safetyism, and Identitarianism is having on America's most liberal religion. It's written specifically for Unitarian Universalists who care about the future of their faith, but will prove of interest to anyone seeking to understand how today's identity politics can fundamentally alter any institution, and presents a seminal case-study for researchers of this timely subject. The Gadfly Papers is a substantive, well argued work that's based on plenty of credible scholarship, yet is written in a conversational tone that makes its complex subject matter easy to understand. Whether you're a Unitarian Universalist, a student of history, social science, politics, or simply value the rare but refreshing application of logic, The Gadfly Papers is a book you won't put down until it's finished.

[Allen Perry · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you are a UU read it for yourself. Don’t believe the hype that the UUA put out. Don’t listen to your overly sensitive friend who claims the book hurt them. Read it for yourself. The truth often isn’t pretty and rarely neat. This book fits into that well.
