Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book documents a contentious dispute that erupted in 1810 within the First Ecclesiastical Society in Coventry, Connecticut, between the pastor, the Reverend Abiel Abbot, and members of his congregation. At the heart of the controversy were differences over the doctrines of the Trinity, the divinity of Jesus Christ, and the atonement. The author provides extensive excerpts from the historical record, including statements from both Abbot and his accusers. Through this rich primary source material, the book offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex religious landscape of early 19th-century New England. It sheds light on the tensions between individual conscience and ecclesiastical authority, as well as the evolving interpretations of Christian belief during this period of religious ferment. The book's insights into the challenges of maintaining orthodoxy and fostering unity within religious communities resonate with contemporary debates over religious freedom and the role of faith in modern society.
