The Origin Of Arianism Disclosed (1791)

The Origin of Arianism Disclosed is a book written by John Whitaker and published in 1791. The book explores the origins of Arianism, a theological belief system that emerged in the 4th century AD and challenged the mainstream Christian doctrine of the Trinity. Whitaker argues that Arianism was not a new or original idea, but rather a re-emergence of an ancient heresy that had been rejected by the early Christian church. He traces the roots of Arianism back to the Gnostic sects of the 2nd and 3rd centuries, and argues that the Arian controversy was not simply a theological disagreement, but a political power struggle between the Roman emperor Constantine and the bishops of the church. The book provides a detailed analysis of the biblical and historical evidence for and against Arianism, and offers a compelling argument for the orthodox Christian doctrine of the Trinity. Overall, The Origin of Arianism Disclosed is a scholarly and insightful work that sheds light on an important chapter in the history of Christian theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
