Synopsis

Excerpt from Letters on the Logos

It is well known to all who watch the progress of theological controversy, and can discern the condition of religious opinion, that the decision of the great question between Unitarian and Trinitarian believers, is pro tracted, more than by any other cause, by the obscurity which has ever rested over The Word,' as it is used in the Preface of John's Gospel, and in some other. Places of scripture. The removal of this obscurity would, it is probable, determine effectually and forever, the opinions of all, who, in sixnplicity and sincerity of spirit, seek only the truth, and love it supremely.

If it should be clearly made out that the evangelist, in applying The Word' to Jesus Christ, meant to assert the absolute, underived, and independent divinity of his nature, then the Trinitarian will have secured one passage in scripture on which to stand, as upon a foundation. If, on the contrary, it can be shown that the use of this phrase, in application to our Saviour, demonstrates his inferiority to the Father, and declares the exaltation, not of his nature, but of his qflice only, then the most important, or, as some apprehend.

About this title

Product Description:

Excerpt from Letters on the Logos The following Letters were commenced without any expectation that they would pass beyond the inspection of private friendship. But in the course of the investigation of which they exhibit the results, the writer was more and more impressed with a conviction of the truth and importance of the theory contained in them. So deep and strong did this conviction at last become, that he was led to reflect seriously upon the expediency and propriety of presenting his views to the religious public in a more grave and systematical form, than is appropriate to private epistolary communications. Upon mature consideration, however, it appeared to him that the novelty and peculiarity of the opinions to which he had been brought, called for the most natural and easy manner of presenting them. And as these Letters accurately exhibit the process by which they were reached, and the mode in which they are held, their original form has been preserved. They are now offered to the public, as they were addressed to the learned divine to whom they are inscribed.
