As she crouched on the ledge beside him, shaking uncontrollably, so that, but for his arm about her, she must have lost her balance and fallen; as she heard that strong soul expressing in simple unorthodox language its gratitude for life and safety, mingled with earnest petition for keeping through the night and complete deliverance in the morning; it seemed to Myra that the heavens opened, and the felt presence of God surrounded them in their strange isolation.
Coming from a Protestant Divine of such high talent and learning, they may rather be expected to breed in 'considering men' very unorthodox opinions as well of the authenticity as the genuineness of both Testaments, and a strong suspicion that Chillingworth was joking when he talked about their "sufficient certainty."
I began to think that, after all, Peter might be a foeman worthy of my steel. When Peter was ready to begin he thrust his hands into his pockets a totally unorthodox thing. Then he plunged in without further ado, speaking in his ordinary conversational tone another unorthodox thing.
He had been sent back, not for another six years of service, but to hold out the leader of the Boxers, as they called themselves the younger and unorthodox element of the party in the State, an element growing to dangerous proportions.
Most of the great artists who attended Shah Jahan's court were dismissed as unorthodox or heretics, and many noble monuments were mutilated by the Emperor's fanatical followers on the ground that they contravened the precept of the Koran which forbids the representation of animate nature in art.

He had an unorthodox style, but an excellent eye, and the road at this period of the game became absolutely unsafe for pedestrians and traffic. Mike's pace had become slower, as was only natural, but his score, too, was mounting steadily. "This is foolery," snapped Mr. Downing, as the three hundred and fifty went up on the board. "Barnes!" he called. There was no reply.
The originality of the Śaiva Siddhânta lies less in its dogmas than in its devotional character: in the feeling that the soul is immersed in darkness and struggles upwards by the grace of the Lord, so that the whole process of Karma and Mâyâ is really beneficent. As already mentioned Śivaism has an important though unorthodox offshoot in the Lingâyats or Lingavants.
Professor Bury, in his "History of Freedom of Thought," speaking of England, tells us, "If we take the cases in which the civil authorities have intervened to repress the publication of unorthodox opinions during the last two centuries, we find that the object has always been to prevent the spread of free thought among the masses."
