Synopsis

Expository Lectures On The Principal Passages Of The Scriptures Which Relate To The Doctrine Of The Trinity by George Washington Burnap. This work presents a course of doctrinal lectures aimed at explaining and defending the Unitarian view of the Bible against the doctrine of the Trinity. Burnap surveys key biblical texts and themes—such as the unity of God, the nature of Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Atonement, and the Church—to argue that Scripture teaches a strict monotheism with Jesus as the Messiah or mediator but not as God in the Trinity. The collection, originally published in the mid-1840s and reissued in later editions, emphasizes exegesis and historical critique, challenging traditional triune interpretations, and advocating a primitive church framework centered on the Spirit and a unified God. The lectures progress from introductory considerations to detailed analyses of John, Hebrews, Revelation, Isaiah, and other passages, culminating in a call for ecclesiastical reform toward a simple, spirit-led unity.
