Excerpt from The Calvinistic and Socinian Systems Examined and Compared, as to Their Moral Tendency: In a Series of Letters, Addressed to the Friends of Vital and Practical Religion
This union, however, has become an occasion of many reflections. Serious men of the established church have expressed their surprise that some dissen ters could unite With others so opposite in their relig ious principles; and had the union been of a religious nature, it must indeed have been surprising. Others have supposed that the main body of dissenters had either 1m bibed the Socinian system, or were hastili ap proaching towards it. Whether the suggestion of Dr. Horsley, that the genuine Calvinists among our mod ern dissenters are very few, has contributed to this opinion, or whatever be its origin, it is far from being just. Every one who knows the dissenters, knows that the body of them are what is commonly called orthodox.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the religious tenets of Calvinism and Socinianism and their impact on morality. Arising from the belief in a Trinity, original sin, and the need of atonement, Calvinists believed their doctrines were essential to true holiness and living a righteous life. On the other hand, Socinians saw these beliefs as having a negative impact on morality and believed in the sufficiency of virtuous conduct for a life of goodness. The author provides evidence to show that Calvinistic principles have a greater tendency to promote conversion, love of God and neighbor, humility, charity, love for Christ, and a cheerful and heavenly-minded disposition. The author also examines the similarities between Socinianism and infidelity and the tendency of one to lead to the other. The arguments presented in this volume are significant for their unique insight into how the tenets of each system influence the character and life of their adherents.
