Excerpt from History of the Development of the Doctrine of the Person of Christ, Vol. 1 The subject to which this work is devoted, is one which has repeatedly engaged the attention and occupied the pens of theologians in this country. Besides the palmary work of Bishop Bull, entitled, "Defensio Fidei Nicenæ, published first in 1680, we have the treatise of Priestley on the "History of Early Opinions, " 4 vols. 8vo, with the controversy between him and Bishop Horsley, the later work of Wilson, entitled, "An Illustration of the Method of explaining the New Testament by the Early Opinions of Jews and Christians concerning Christ, " - an admirable work, published first in 1797, and of which a new edition was issued at Cambridge in 1838, and the still more recent work of Mr Stanley Faber, on "The Apostolicity of Trinitarianism, " 2 vols., London, 1832. Works such as these attest the interest which the question of the History of Opinions concerning the Person of Christ has awakened in this country. But, though these works have their merits, and some of them possess a high and permanent value, they for the most part labour under two defects: the one is, that, being originally and primarily polemical, they are all more or less one-sided in their representations, and the other is, that they are lacking in scientific fulness and development. It may be added, that they are all confined to the Ante-Nicene period, and take no cognizance of the progress of opinion subsequent to the Council of Nice.
