9780461353761: The Comparative Coincidence Of Reason And Scripture

Synopsis

The Comparative Coincidence Of Reason And Scripturepresents a sustained theological-philosophical argument aimed at harmonizing scriptural revelation with human reason. This volume (Volume II, published 1832 in London) advances a high Christology and a Trinitarian anthropology, asserting the full deity of the Son, the personhood and equality of the Holy Spirit, and the unity of Father, Son, and Spirit in salvation history. The author surveys Old and New Testament scriptures, prophetic visions, and patristic testimonies to argue that the atonement is universal, affecting all intelligent beings across creation, not merely humanity. The book elaborates on topics such as the Ascension, Melchisedek, the universality of redemption, the final judgment, and the apocalyptic plan whereby divine wisdom is manifested in the Fall and Victory of Christ. Throughout, the prose is laden with scripture citations and devotional exhortation, aiming to reconcile the truths of faith with the formal reasoning of philosophy.
