About this title

Synopsis

"A Vindication of Certain Passages in a Discourse" offers a detailed response to critiques of a sermon delivered on the death of Dr. Joseph Priestley. Thomas Belsham defends Priestley's character and writings against the animadversions of John Pye Smith. This work provides insight into the theological debates of the early 19th century, specifically concerning Unitarianism and its place in British religious thought.

Belsham meticulously addresses Smith's arguments, offering a robust defense of Priestley's intellectual contributions and theological positions. The book serves as a valuable primary source for understanding the complexities of religious discourse during a period of significant intellectual and social change. Scholars and readers interested in the history of religious thought, particularly the development of Unitarianism, will find this volume a compelling examination of the issues at stake in these debates.
