The Answer Of The Earl Of Nottingham To Mr. Whiston's Letter To Him, Concerning The Eternity Of The Son Of God, And Of The Holy Ghost (1721)

The Answer of the Earl of Nottingham to Mr. Whiston's Letter to Him, Concerning the Eternity of the Son of God, and of the Holy Ghost is a book written by Daniel Finch, the Earl of Nottingham, in 1721. The book is a response to a letter written by William Whiston, a theologian and mathematician, in which he questions the traditional Christian belief in the eternal nature of the Son of God and the Holy Spirit.In his response, Nottingham defends the orthodox Christian view of the Trinity, arguing that the Son and the Holy Spirit are co-eternal with the Father and therefore share in his divine nature. He draws on scripture and the writings of early Christian theologians to support his argument, and he addresses several objections raised by Whiston and other critics of the Trinity doctrine.The book is written in a clear and concise style, and it provides a valuable insight into the theological debates of the early 18th century. It is a significant work in the history of Christian theology and is still studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
