Synopsis

Scripture Proofs And Scriptural Illustrations Of Unitarianism by John Wilson. This 19th?century polemical defense argues for strict biblical monotheism, identifying the Father as the one true God and creator, with Jesus as a subordinate Messenger or Son who derives authority from the Father. The Holy Spirit is presented not as a distinct divine person but as God’s presence, power, or influence at work in the world. Employing systematic scriptural exegesis, Wilson surveys Old and New Testament passages, concordances, translations, and marginal notes to show that terms like God and Father predominantly refer to the single God. He contrasts Unitarian readings with Trinitarian positions (Athanasians, Arians, Socinians, Sabellians) and engages a range of authorities to frame the debate. The work—rich with quotations, observations, and illustrative texts—targets educated readers in 19th?century Britain, urging doctrinal reform through Scripture and rational critique and compiling scholarly apparatus and indices for a comprehensive two?part argument.
