"Unitarian Christianity" by William Ellery Channing

"Unitarian Christianity" by William Ellery Channing

book review by Riley Burnham 11/3/2023

thoroughly enjoyed this one(!!)

short & sweet, this easily slays common [Christian] notions of a "trinity," & shows that their conclusions are bogus as well as harmful

what is presented here in like 30 pages is refreshing & direct; that is to say it respects the UNITARIAN aspect of God [as one, as justice, as all good things...] & disputes the fairly absurd idea of Jesus being both a God & a Son [which checks out here]

it enumerates that Jews of the day would have had a field day if the dualistic/trinitarian aspect was outright stated; rather than a long-term corruption of what was originally written in the New Testament [passages where Christ refers to God as an obviously separate aspect/being are cited]

huge fan of this work; so glad i read/got it
