A Sequel to The Apology on Resigning the Vicarage of Catterick, Yorkshire


Book Description

Theophilus Lindsey (1723-1808) was a famous Unitarian clergyman and theologian. In 1773 he resigned his post as an Anglican clergyman, and shortly thereafter wrote his Apology to explain and justify his decision. This book, published in 1776, is a lengthy and more detailed follow up to his Apology. In it he argues for a Unitarian interpretation of the Bible, with a non-trinitarian God and a humanitarian christology. He interacts with the interpretations and arguments of numerous earlier Trinitarians, Socinians, Unitarians, Arians, and subordinationists.
