The Principal Objections Against The Doctrine Of The Trinity: And A Portion Of The Evidence On Which That Doctrine Is Received By The Catholic Church, Reviewed, In Eight Sermons Preached Before The University Of Oxford, In The Year MDCCCXXXVII, At The Lecture Founded By The Rev. John Bampton, by Thomas Stuart Lyle Vogan. This volume collects eight sermons preached at Oxford in 1837 under the Bampton Lecture tradition, examining the central Christian doctrine of the Trinity. Vogan organizes his critique into a formal defense of Trinity against perceived objections, distinguishing objections to the doctrine itself from objections to the evidential basis. He argues that mystery does not imply disbelief, defends the unity and co-equality of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and surveys biblical texts from the Old and New Testaments that he interprets as supporting a tripersonal God. The work situates itself within Anglican polemics of the era, engages with Unitarian criticisms, and closes with exhortations on the necessity of creeds and proper worship of the Triune God. The eight sermons together form a compact treatment of early 19th-century Trinitarian apologetics.
