Overview

This volume deals with the trinitarian debate in early 18th-century England, focusing on Samuel Clarke's reappraisal of the doctrine in the light of early modern philosophy and close Patristic study. It utilizes current studies on the fourth-century debate, recent evaluations of Latitudinarianism, and theological manuscripts of Sir Isaac Newton to shed light on Clarke's treatment of this central Christian doctrine. The first section examines Clarke's intellectual milieu, the second section treats his use of sources, and the final section evaluates his role in the trinitarian controversy. The author concludes with a call for a reclassification of Clarke's thought by historians of doctrine.
