Winner of the Sixteenth Century Society's Roland H. Bainton Prize
for History or Theology
Paul C. H. Lim offers an insightful examination of the polemical
debates about the doctrine of the Trinity in seventeenth-century
England, showing that the philosophical and theological
re-configuration of this doctrine had a significant impact on the
politics of religion in the early modern period.
Lim's analysis of these heated polemics shows how Trinitarian
God-talk became untenable in many ecclesiastical and philosophical
circles, leading to the emergence of Unitarianism. He demonstrates
that those who continued to uphold Trinitarian doctrine articulated
their piety and theological perspectives in an increasingly
secularized culture of discourse. Drawing on both unexplored
manuscripts and well-known treatises of Continental and English
provenance, he uncovers the complex layers of the polemic: from
biblical exegesis to reception history of patristic authorities,
from popular religious radicalism during the Civil War to Puritan
spirituality, from Continental Socinians to English
anti-Trinitarians who claimed an independent theological identity,
from the notion of the Platonic captivity of primitive Christianity
to that of Plato as "Moses Atticus."
Among this book's surprising findings are that Anti-Trinitarian
sentiment arose in a Puritan ambience in which biblical literalism
overrode rationalistic presuppositions, and that theology and
philosophy were more closely connected during this period than
previously thought. Mystery Unveiled fills a significant lacuna in
early modern English intellectual history.
