Frothingham's literary style is characterized by a blend of intellectual rigor and personal reflection, which won him a following among those who sought a more expansive and less dogmatic approach to spirituality and religion. Since he was deeply involved in the religious and social movements of his time, his writings provide valuable insights into the evolution of American religious thought and the early stirrings of the progressive movements that would come to shape later social reforms.
