About this title

Synopsis

""A Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture: In a Letter to a Friend"" is a book written by Isaac Newton in 1841. In this book, Newton discusses two significant corruptions of the Bible. The first corruption he addresses is the addition of the Trinitarian formula in 1 John 5:7-8, which he argues was added to the text in the 4th century. The second corruption he discusses is the addition of the comma Johanneum in 1 John 5:7-8, which he also argues was added to the text in the 4th century. Newton provides a detailed historical analysis of these corruptions, tracing their origins and their impact on the development of Christian theology. The book is written in the form of a letter to a friend, and is intended to be accessible to a general audience. Overall, ""A Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Bible and the development of Christian doctrine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
