Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Theological and Miscellaneous Works of Joseph Priestley, LL. D. F. R. S. &C, Vol. 20 Reverend and dear Sir, Permit me, as a mark of our friendship, and of our love of the same studies, to inscribe this work to you. It is not that I wish to screen myself behind your authority, or to make you responsible for what is new, and may be thought too bold or hazardous in the opinions maintained in it; but I wish to have your countenance for the freedom with which I have treated this subject, and especially for what I have said relating to the inspiration of the books of Scripture. This opinion is not only a bar to freedom of inquiry, but has operated in a manner very unfavourable to the credibility of the Gospel history. With respect to other matters of a speculative nature, relating to Christianity, I cannot be more ready to take, than you are to allow and encourage, the greatest freedom of thinking and writing, and, consequently, the most open and avowed difference of sentiment; since what is most essential to the Christian temper and conduct, is perfectly consistent with this difference. In a variety of articles in metaphysics and speculative theology, it is probable that, having, at an early period, embraced very different general principles, you and I shall continue through life to hold very different opinions, and with respect to their influence in a theoretical system, we may lay considerable stress upon them; but we agree in a firm belief of Christianity, and of the infinite importance of it to the virtue and happiness of mankind.
