Vindiciae Priestleianae: An Address To The Students Of Oxford And Cambridge (1788)

Vindiciae Priestleianae: An Address To The Students Of Oxford And Cambridge is a book written by Theophilus Lindsey in 1788. The book is a response to the controversy surrounding the publication of The Confessional, a work by the Reverend Samuel Parr, which criticized the views of the late Reverend William Paley. In the book, Lindsey defends the principles of Priestley and his followers, arguing that they represent a more rational and humane approach to Christianity than the traditional doctrines of the Church of England. He also addresses the issue of religious toleration and argues that it is essential for the progress of society. The book is aimed at the students of Oxford and Cambridge, who Lindsey believes are in a position to influence the future of the Church and society. The book was controversial at the time of its publication and contributed to Lindsey's reputation as a radical thinker.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
