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:
