Help: Unitarianism

[Rondy]

Hi all,
I am so much interested to know more about Unitarianism as a Christian movement and decided to make a HW about for one of the courses I am enrolled in, I got a book over the Internet about it, Unitarianism in America, but it is more of a history book plus it is long and I need to do my HW by Thursday so I won't be able to finish reading it, any immediate help would be so much appreciated.
If you are a Unitarian or know about it please let me know.
Thank you in advance.

Unitarianism seems a bit too broad of a subject to explore greatly in-depth by Thursday, but it sounds very brave of you to research into such a topic so swiftly. I consider myself neither a Unitarian nor Christian, but the "Unitarian" philosophy as a sect of Christianity involves exactly what its name implies - a unification, tossing itself far from the doctrine of Trinity (God as three entities). Many Christians feel that Unitarian Christianity existed before the Trinity, and many of Christianity's other branches (Catholicism, Protestantism, new age, etc.), also taking into the fact that Unitarians do not worship Jesus as a God, but more consider Christianity as a religion about Jesus - a very important distinction, but what other Christians have called unorthodox.
Many people call Unitarianism and Universalism synonymous, and they appear very related, but do not carry precisely the same beliefs, and Ralph Waldo Emerson unspecifically but very accurately detailed this distinction in his essays, as a former Unitarian preacher. Universalism bases itself considerably more on philosophical movements, seeking spiritual growth, rather than basing its entire beliefs of solely The Bible - in other words, a bit less dogmatic; some Universalists go even far enough to not call themselves in relation to Christianity. Unitarian Universalism can border remarkably close to beliefs of the Transcendental movement, which existed strongly in the 19th century (Emerson, Thoreau, etc.), and Transcendentalists, in a way, can appear as the blamed for joining the two philosophies/belief systems, for better or worse.
