Excerpt from Expository Lectures on the Principal Passages of the Scriptures Which Relate to the Doctrine of the Trinity
The reader will find in this book some repetition, oh noxious perhaps to literary criticism. The same texts are repeated in different connexions. This could not have been avoided, without sacrificing fulness and strength of argument to literary symmetry. The same texts are found to have an important bearing on different points of the general argument.

The object of the publication of the following lectures, 3is to give to individuals and families the means of explain. jing those passages of the Scriptures, which are most often .quoted, to prove the doctrine of the Trinity. Such a book I believe to be wanted. There is no passage in the Bible, which expresses, or directly teaches this doctrine. X; This is explicitly acknowledged by the Catholic Church, -the most numerous, and perhaps the most learned branch Jof the Church Universal. The most intelligent Catholics %put it, with several other doctrines of their Church, on the ground of tradition. The Protestants, who have derived this tradition from the Catholics, and whose principles forbid them to receive any thing upon the authority of tradition, have attempted to sustain it from the Scriptures. They do not say that there is any passage which expressly asserts it, but that there are many, from which it is legitimately inferred. It is the purpose of the.se lectures, to take up these passages, one by one, and show that this inference is not legitimate, that no such doctrine is taught in them, even by implication, that their true import has been mistaken.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a thought-provoking and meticulously researched analysis of the doctrine of the Trinity in the Christian tradition. The author presents a comprehensive examination of the key biblical texts that have been used to support the Trinity, arguing that these passages have been misinterpreted and that the doctrine itself is not explicitly stated or directly taught in the Bible. The author examines the historical development of the doctrine, tracing its origins back to early Christian thought and the influence of Greek philosophy. The book delves into the theological and philosophical implications of the Trinity, exploring its impact on our understanding of God, Jesus Christ, and the nature of salvation. Through a close examination of the relevant biblical texts, the author presents a compelling case for a Unitarian interpretation of the nature of God, arguing that a belief in one God, rather than a triune God, is more consistent with the teachings of the Bible. The book concludes with a thoughtful reflection on the significance of the Unitarian understanding of God for contemporary Christian faith and practice.
