Upcoming Blogposts

 

Planned blogposts with provisional titles:

-The Moyer Lectures:
This blogpost will be about the Moyer Lectures that were devoted to defending the doctrine of the Trinity. I'll have links to some of the lectures/sermons preached in defense of the Trinity.

 -Troubling Questions If I Were Still A Unitarian:
This blogpost will be about features in the Bible that make little to no sense if Unitarian were true. For example: Why is it Jesus is worshipped? Why is Jesus included in a Christianized version of the Shema? Why are Christians individually and corporate the Temple of God when they are filled with the Holy Spirit?

-Things in the Bible that Now Make Sense Now That I'm a Trinitarian:
For example, why is the Bible so Christocentric? I recall when I was an anti-Trinitarian in the early 90s how disturbed I was how Jesus was the center of attention and worship in Christian churches. Then I realized this was true even in the 1st century church as can be seen in the New Testament.

 

 

James Knight's Books In Defense of the Trinity

 

Along with a number of other people like Daniel Waterland, Trinitarians like James Knight addressed Samuel Clarke's (and Clarke's defenders') book(s) undermining Trinitarianism in favor of some kind of Unitarianism.

 

In Defense of the Trinity James Knight wrote at least two books. One of which was anonymous (but prefixed with a letter by Robert Nelson).

The Moyer Lectures were (annual?) lectures dedicated to defending the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity. Daniel Waterland was the first lecturer in 1719 (see his "Eight Sermons" linked HERE). James Knight was the second lecturer in 1720.

Like all older defenses of the doctrine of the Trinity, the works byKnight probably have some deficiencies and problems which I point out in my blog:
