Synopsis

The Scripture Testimony To The Messiah: An Inquiry With A View To A Satisfactory Determination Of The Doctrine Taught In The Holy Scriptures Concerning The Person Of Christ, Including A Careful Examination Of The Rev. Thomas Belsham’s Calm Inquiry And Of Other Unitarian Works Of The Same Subject" by John Pye Smith. The work presented here is a theological treatise from the early 19th century (1821) that surveys the Scriptural evidence concerning the person of Jesus Christ, with particular attention to the relationship between his humanity and divinity. It develops an inductive approach to the Gospel narratives and the declarations of Christ, examines the office and testimony of John the Baptist, and engages with Unitarian critiques—notably Belsham’s Calm Inquiry—while defending the orthodox view of the Messiah as both truly human and truly God. The volume analyzes the information about the Messiah’s humanity, the nature of his mission, and the relationship of his person to the Father, arguing for pre-existence and divine attributes in Christ, and for a Christ-centered framework of salvation, judgment, and revelation within the Christian canon. The Preface outlines a careful, impartial presentation of evidence intended to enable readers to form their own conclusions, and to compare competing interpretations with fidelity to the biblical record.
