A Discourse in Vindication of the Doctrine of the Trinity
by: Edward Stillingfleet

Softcover. UK, Dale Tuggy, reprint, 2008, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 292 pages. This is a facsimile reprint of: In A Discourse In Vindication of the Doctrine of the Trinity: with an Answer to the late Socinian Objections against it from Scripture, Antiquity and Reason. And a Preface concerning the different Explications of the Trinity, and the Tendency of the present Socinian Controversie. (1697) Stillingfleet (1635-1699) here enters a controversy that had begun in 1687 with the publication of Stephen Nye's A Brief History of the Unitarians, and had been stoked by many later controversial pamphlets and books, including The Faith of the One God, published by Thomas Firmin. Stillingfleet defends traditional formulas about the Trinity from unitarians' charges of contradiction and poor fit with the Bible and early Christian tradition. Clean copy.
