Synopsis

An Humble Attempt to Investigate and Defend the Scripture Doctrine Concerning the Father, The Son, And The Holy Spirit by James Purves. This work presents a systematic examination of the doctrine of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit drawn from Scripture, challenging traditional Trinitarian explanations and advocating a unitarian-leaning interpretation. Purves structures the treatise around an introduction and a series of chapters that investigate the Names and Attributes of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; the Works peculiar to each; the inferences drawn from those Names and Works; and objections to the proposed conclusions, followed by a concise summary of Scripture doctrine and its practical consequences. He argues for the Father as the sole self-existent God, presents the Son as the begotten image of the Father, and describes the Holy Spirit as the outward energy of God rather than a separate person. The work also contends for universal restoration and the ultimate reconciliation of all things in Christ, emphasizing liberty and justice under a Christ-centered administration. The Appendix engages linguistic and exegetical questions about terms such as Alehim and Jehovah to support its positions.
