A series of four lectures delivered in March of 1890 in Rockford, Illinois, by Dr. Thomas Kerr, a Scottish immigrant, medical doctor and former Baptist minister expelled because of his liberal views. In 1870 he organized the Church of the Christian Union with 65 Rockford Unitarians who were without a minister. These lectures describe and discuss tablets and other archaeological finds discovered mid-nineteenth century in what was Babylonia (present day Iraq). Dr. Kerr had recently returned from a trip to London and Paris where he had viewed these relics in the British Museum and the Louvre. He discusses the "disclosures that have come from the study of archaeology" as they relate to the "religious idea" and how they have "placed the religious in a new light."
