Excerpt from Three Letters Addressed to the Ven. And Rev. Francis Wrangham, M. An., Archdeacon of Cleveland: In Reply to His Remarks on Unitarianism and Unitarians, Contained in His Charge to the Clergy of His Archdeaconry, Delivered in July, 1822
When the design, the spirit and the tendency of your last Charge, delivered to the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Cleveland, are considered, it will hardly be deemed neces sary for me to offer any apology for the liberty I take in addressing you. In that Charge, and especially in the Appendix and Notes which accompany it, you have chosen to attack not merely the principles, but the character of Unitarians; and, adopting the unfounded calumnies of those who have preceded you in the same inglorious, but mt nu profitable labours, y ou have greatly traduced and misrepre sented both. Believing most firmly and conscientiously, that the doctrines of Unitarianism constitute that faith which was, once delivered to the saints, by the authorized messengers of God, and that the more widely they are difl'used, the more surely will the interests of true religion and virtue be promoted; feeling, also the most sincere respect for the illustrious defenders of these doctrines, both living and dead, whom yhu have endeavoured to hold up to the unmerited contempt or indignation of man kind, I should regard it as a most blameable derelic tion of d uty, were I not, in the absence of some better advocate, to attempt, at least, to vindicate the principles and the persons that have been so unjustly traduced.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed history of the severing of Trinitarianism from its Christian roots to establish the origin of modern Unitarianism. Informed by close readings of early Trinitarian texts and close comparisons with Unitarian writings, the author shows how Unitarianism best aligns with the true historical evolution of Christian theology. The book argues that Trinitarians have strayed too far from the source material, while Unitarians have remained faithful to the teachings of Christ.
