Excerpt from The Unity and Supremacy of God the Father: A Sermon, Delivered in the Second Independent Church, in Charleston, S. C., April 22, 1826
Tan Author of the following discourse, having been invited by the House of Representatives of South Carolina to deliver a discourse before that body during their session in December last, complied with the re quest, and preached a sermon on the doctrine of the Unity of God. A reply was given to that sermon on the ensuing Sabbath,before the same body, by the Rev. Mr. Durbin, Professor in a college recently established in Augusta, Kentucky, in which the Rev. Gentleman endeavoured to prove the great antiquity of the trinitarian hypothesis, and to establish what is called the doctrine of the two natures of Christ.' The Legis lature adjourning the next day, no Opportunity was then offered to an. Swer his arguments, and Professor Durbin having preached the sermon containing his reply in other places, and finally in Charleston, and it having been printed, the following discourse was delivered as an answer to his mostprominent arguments. In complying with the request of the Charleston Unitarian Book Society to furnish ac0py of it for the Press, the Author felt much reluctance, owing to his youth, but the urgent solicitation of his friends having relieved him from the charge of pre sumption, and they having taken, as he conceives, in a great measure, the responsibility of its reputation upon themselves, he submit's it to the candor of the public, h0ping that it may do some good at the same time, in order to prevent mistake, and relieve Unitarians from all appre hension, he begs it may be distinctly understood, that the sentiments contained in it are his own, and that he is not the representative of their opinions,' as he holds himself accountable to no man, or body of men, for the principles of his religious faith.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an argument supporting the Unitarian doctrine of God as a singular entity in opposition to the prevailing Trinitarian view. The author presents a thorough examination of theological texts, primarily from the Bible, to support the idea that God is one being and that Jesus Christ is a separate and inferior being. It delves into various arguments against Trinitarianism, including the notion that the doctrine of the Trinity is a human invention that emerged in the fourth century. The author also addresses the claim that Unitarians exalt human reason by rejecting the mysterious nature of the Trinity, arguing that true revelation should be clear and comprehensible. Through a close analysis of scripture and historical context, the book seeks to shed light on the nature of God and the relationship between God and Jesus Christ, offering insights that challenge traditional Christian dogma and promote a deeper understanding of the concept of divine unity.
