About This Item

London: Printed for William Rogers..., 1798. FIRST EDITION. Small 4to, 208 x 154 mms., pp. [xxiv], 388, contemporary panelled calf; upper rear joint slightly cracked, spine a bit dried, but a very good copy. The emergence of Socianism as an element in the history of Christian theology can be dated to the Anabaptist movement of the 1540s. Father Fausto Sozzini (1539 - 1604) was the most notable of the early exponents, and the movement, if it could be called that, takes its name from him. Socinians doubt or deny doctrines of soteriology, the virgin birth, the pre-existence of Christ before his earthly conception, etc. Sherlock (1639 - 1707) seems to have been born into controversy about Christian doctrines, with his earliest publications in opposition to various dissenters. A prolific author of anti-Catholic publications, e. g., A Preservative Against Popery (1688), and his Vindication of the Doctrine of the Holy and Ever Blessed Trinity (1690) put forth a new interpretation of the trinity based on the notion of mutual consciousness. The Present State of the Socinian Controversy was his last polemic on the subject.
