Description
This book is an important historical exposé on the teaching of the Trinity. It is an extract taken from Milton’s massive, posthumous theological treatise, De Doctrina Christiana (On Christian Doctrine). In these writings, Milton explicitly rejects the traditional, orthodox Christian doctrine of the Trinity, firmly advocating for a non-trinitarian theology.
Milton’s independent study led him to view the traditional Trinity as an unscriptural invention. Milton argues that the Son of God is not co-equal or co-eternal with God. He asserts that the Father alone is the supreme, self-existent God. He advocates that the Son was generated (begotten) by the Father at a specific point in time, making the Son subordinate to the Father.
We do not necessarily agree with every doctrinal position expressed by Milton. He came from a different period, tradition, and theological background than many who may read this work. What is of interest is the author’s firm conviction that there is “One God and Father of All.” (Ephesians 4:6)
This book is a re-typesetting of the original work. We have allowed the author to speak for himself. Where his theology differs from ours, we have not attempted to correct it. Our purpose is not to make this historical writer conform to our understanding, but to make his original writing available.
Readers are encouraged to examine those arguments for themselves and, as always, search the Scriptures to determine whether these things are so. 160 pages, paperback.
