The Origin of the Doctrine of the Trinity: A Popular Exposition
Excerpt from The Origin of the Doctrine of the A Popular Exposition
It seems that there are Christian people who cannot follow an inquiry, such as that in the book called T esti momes (which is in course of production by my friend Vacher Burch and myself), because the argument ftc quently requires a close acquaintance with ecclesiastical writers in Greek, Latin and Syriac and the same thing is true Of the little book on the Ongm of t/ze Prologue to St joén's Gospel, which I recently published.
For some reasons I should have preferred to post pone any such popular treatment, until we had com pleted the discussion Of Testimonies by publishing the second part of that work. But as I know the interest that is being provoked by these investigations is not limited to the erudite, I have consented to try and ex plain what is going on in the world of Christian thought, without any reference to Greek or Latin. Hence this little tract or lecture in the English speech.
