Synopsis

Hysterai Phrontides, Or, The Last Thoughts Of Dr. Whitby: Containing His Correction Of Several Passages In His Commentary On The New Testament, To Which Are Added, Five Discourses by Daniel Whitby. This 1728 collection assembles the author’s Retractation and Preface detailing a reversal of earlier doctrinal positions about the nature of Christ and the Trinity, followed by a Short Account and a Catalogue of Whitby’s Works. The volume then presents Five Discourses that scrutinize key Scriptural texts to defend a traditional orthodox reading of the Trinity: God the Father remains the supreme God, the Son is a distinct, subordinate divine Agent endowed with authority by the Father, and the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son in a manner consistent with historic Christian teaching. Whitby marshals patristic authorities and Scripture to argue against Sabellianism, while maintaining a clear distinction between Father, Son, and Spirit. The work thus serves as a polemical defense of classical Trinitarian doctrine and scriptural rationalism, and records Whitby’s theological development through retractation and exegetical argument.
