Synopsis

An Answer To Dr Whitby's Reply: Being A Vindication Of The Charge Of Fallacies, Misquotations, Misconstructions, Misrepresentations, &C : Respecting His Book Intituled Disquisitiones Mop&sT2 : In A Letter To Dr. Whitby by Daniel Waterland. This polemical treatise, published in Cambridge in 1720, offers a detailed rebuttal of Dr. Whitby’s Reply to Waterland's own defense of the doctrine in Disquisitiones Modestae. Waterland lays out a two-part response: first to demonstrate that Whitby has not undone the charges of general fallacies and particular defects in the cited work; second to contest Whitby’s reliance on antiquity to undermine orthodox Trinitarianism. The volume surveys articulations of the divine Unity, the Nicene and Ante-Nicene Fathers, and the relation of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, arguing for the consubstantiality and unity of the Godhead while challenging Whitby’s readings, quotations, and representations. It constitutes a rigorous Anglican apologetic, defending the traditional Trinity against Arians and Sabellians through extensive patristic citation and critique.
