Excerpt from The Arian Movement in England
The following chapters are the outcome of research extending over a period of some years, undertaken as a student of the University of Manchester. The enormous quantity of material hidden away in bookshelves seldom disturbed, has made it difficult to do more than place results before the reader, and the scope of the work has prevented the introduction of much that is interest ing and illuminative regarding the eighteenth century in England. An attempt has been made to trace the connection between these pieces of forgotten literature, and to observe the development of a school of thought in English religion which has not always been recognised by students of that period.
I desire to express my sincere thanks to the Librarian of the Dr. Williams' Library, and to his courteous Assistants: to the Rev. T. Crippen of the Memorial Hall Library, London, and to others who by valuable information supplied through correspondence have assisted in various ways. My warmest thanks are due to Professor Tout, whose sympathy has been much appreciated, and to the Rev. Alexander Gordon, m.a., who has crowned all his previous acts of kindness by preparing the Index.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book masterfully narrates an extraordinary chapter in English Christianity, a period where traditional doctrine faced unprecedented challenge and new ideas about the nature of Christ emerged. Beginning with the fiery Trinitarian controversy of the 17th century, the author unravels the rise of the Arian Movement in meticulous detail. We encounter fascinating characters like William Whiston and Samuel Clarke, brilliant scholars who dared to question the prevailing orthodoxy, setting in motion a heated intellectual and theological debate. The book delves into the depths of their arguments, exploring the complexities of the Trinity and the nature of Christ's divinity. The author expertly places this movement within its broader context, highlighting its roots in earlier controversies and its profound impact on Nonconformist and Anglican traditions. We witness the rise and fall of Arianism, and its lasting legacy on English Christianity. Incisive and richly researched, this book offers a compelling account of a transformative period, providing insights into the enduring power of religious debate and the dynamic nature of theological thought.
