Publisher's Synopsis
The Grounds of Unitarian Dissent: A Sermon, written by James Yates and published in 1812, is a religious text that explores the reasons why the author and other Unitarian Christians dissent from the traditional Trinitarian beliefs of mainstream Christianity. In the sermon, Yates argues that the doctrine of the Trinity, which posits that God is three distinct persons in one divine being, is not supported by the Bible and is instead a human invention that has caused confusion and division within the church. He also contends that the Unitarian belief in the unity and oneness of God is more consistent with the teachings of Jesus and the early Christian church. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the theological debates and controversies of the early 19th century and provides insight into the development of Unitarianism as a distinct religious tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
