Challenging a controversial defense of the Lord's Supper from a Protestant Dissenter
This classic response argues for private judgment and scriptural guidance in how Christians approach the Lord’s Supper. It frames the debate as a careful, reasoned examination of Priestley’s Free Address and the Dissenter's own perspective.
The book presents a sequence of letters and remarks that critique the Doctor’s conclusions while defending a charitable, thoughtful approach to faith. It emphasizes reading the Bible as the rule of truth and urges candor and gentleness toward those who differ in belief.
