Excerpt from The Triangle: A Series of Numbers Upon Three Theological Points, Enforced From Various Pulpits in the City of New-York
Their scheme commences by teaching that the whole human race are guilty of the sin qf' Adam, independently of their own conduct, and for that sin are truly deserving of eternal punish ment. We are apt to take our opinions on the credit of venera ble names and very many names deemed venerable, if weighed in the balance of unerring truth, would be found to have derived their importance from along and industrious propagation of er ror. Probably no individual man yet had time, candour, patience, and resolution, to examine and substantiate, on proper evidence, the whole mass of his Opinions. Few men proceed to any con siderable length in this arduous work. They take their opinions, nay, their articles of faith, as they do the fashion of their gar ments, not upon a careful inquiry, whether they are the best, but Upon the testimony of the tailor who makes them, that they are in the fashion.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinizes a strain of Christian theology that the author contends is not only incorrect and erroneous but also characterized by an intolerant, bigoted, and persecuting spirit. The author focuses on three points or doctrines that form the 'triangle' of this theological perspective: the doctrine of Original Sin, the doctrine of Inability, and the doctrine of Atonement. He presents an alternative view of these doctrines, grounded in a more liberal and humanistic interpretation of scripture, and argues that the other perspective diminishes the motives and weakens the obligations to morality, and thus impairs the temporal and spiritual interests of the community. The book delves into the historical origins of these doctrines and examines the ways in which they have been used to justify intolerance and persecution. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of free inquiry and open-mindedness in religious matters.
