Synopsis

The Doctrine Of The Trinity And Transubstantiation by Edward Stillingfleet presents Volume II of a Protestant–Papist dialogue that investigates two central Christian doctrines: the Trinity and the doctrine of Transubstantiation. The work unfolds as a thorough examination of scriptural texts, patristic authorities, and philosophical reasoning to evaluate whether the Trinity can be demonstrated from Scripture and whether Proper Divine Worship may be given to Christ only as God, not as a creature. It contrasts literal and figurative readings of key passages, addresses objections from Socinian and Arminian lines of thought, and argues for the coherence and reasonableness of the central mysteries of Christian faith. The dialogue also explores implications for church authority, revelation, and the role of reason in matters of faith, aiming to defend these doctrines with careful, rational inquiry rather than blind assent. The treatise emphasizes the necessity of scriptural evidence, rational scrutiny, and prudent interpretation in matters of doctrine and worship.
