Description:

Reprint of the 1871 edition. A unique book of intellectual history, tracing the course of many religious controversies in England from about 1661 to 1720, including the famous Deism controversy, the Trinitarian controversy of the 1690s, and controversies relating to religious freedom, the Quakers, evidences of Christianity, miracles, mysteries, and so on. The author tries, with varying degrees of success, to merely report both sides of the controversy without inserting (too much of) his own opinions. An unique source for students of historical theology or early modern English philosophy, or anyone interested in religious toleration or protestant theology. Note: this reprint bears some flaws of the original book. For other reprints of books on the Trinity, see trinities.org/books.
