Tracts In Controversy With Dr. Priestley Upon The Historical Question Of The Belief Of The First Ages In Our Lord's Divinity (1789)

Tracts in Controversy with Dr. Priestley Upon the Historical Question of the Belief of the First Ages in Our Lord's Divinity is a book written by Samuel Horsley and published in 1789. The book is a collection of essays and letters that were written by Horsley in response to the theological views of Joseph Priestley, a prominent English theologian and natural philosopher. The central focus of the book is the historical question of the belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ during the early Christian era. Horsley argues that the early Church Fathers held a clear belief in the divinity of Christ, and that this belief was consistent throughout the first few centuries of Christianity. He also criticizes Priestley's views on the Trinity and the nature of Christ, arguing that they are inconsistent with the teachings of the early Church. Overall, the book provides a detailed and scholarly analysis of the historical debate surrounding the belief in the divinity of Christ, and is an important work for anyone interested in the history of Christian theology.Originally Published In The Years 1783, 1784 And 1786, Now Revised And Augmented With A Large Addition Of Notes And Supplemental Disquisitions By The Author.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
