The Arian Movement in England, written by James Hay Colligan and originally published in 1913, is a historical account of the rise and fall of the Arian heresy in England during the 17th and 18th centuries. The Arian heresy is a theological belief that denies the divinity of Jesus Christ and asserts that he is a created being, rather than being co-eternal with God the Father. Colligan provides an in-depth analysis of the Arian movement in England, tracing its origins from the early church to its rise in popularity during the Enlightenment period. He also explores the political and social factors that contributed to the growth of Arianism in England, including the influence of prominent figures such as Isaac Newton and John Locke. The book also examines the efforts of orthodox Christian leaders to combat the spread of Arianism, including the establishment of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. Colligan also discusses the eventual decline of the Arian movement in England and its impact on the broader Christian community.Overall, The Arian Movement in England provides a comprehensive and detailed account of a significant theological movement in English history, shedding light on the complex intersections between religion, politics, and society during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
