Book excerpt: This publication presents Dr John Gill's Dissertion Concerning The Eternal Sonship Of Christ, followed by The Arian Controversy, by Henry Melville Gwatkins Arianism is a Christiological concept that asserts Jesus Christ is the son of God, gotten by the Father, at a pointing time, and he is distinct from the Father, and therefore sub ordinate to the Father Arian teachings were first attributed to Arius (c. AD 256-336), a Christian presbyter in Alexandria, Egypt. This view was rejected by the The Ecumenical First Council of Nicaea of 325 that deemed Arianism to be a heresy. The Arian concept of Christ is based on the belief that the Son of God did not always exist but was begotten by God the Father at a moment time. The Arian view still remains today, by groups such as the Jehovah's Witnesses, Oneness Pentecostalism, and recently put forward by some Particular Baptists in America, Preterists and other groups. The matter has been been disputed, it is between two interpretations. Arianism and those who hold to a Trinitarian view the Christ. The Trinitarian view of Christ is that he is of the same substance and essence of the Father. He is eternal Son of God, the one God, with the Father and the Spirit. He did not become the Son of God at His incarnation as he always was the Son of God, the one God with the Father and the Spirit. This controversy lead to the definition that He was eternally generated by the Father, from all eternity and so always the only begotten Son of God. The concept of the eternal generation of the Son of God has been rejected by some, and in the 18 century defended Dr John Gill, a Particular Baptist minister, from England, and which lead to a further division by some who were its opponents, in the 19 century. They describing this view as "eternal nonsense." In 1860 J.C. Philpot, the editor of the Gospel Standard magazine, defended the teaching of the eternal generation of the Son of God, in his book, "The Eternal Sonship Of The Lord Jesus Christ."

This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 966 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1988, The Search for the Christian Doctrine of God is still considered by many scholars to be the finest work on the Arian Controversy. Examining scholarly works on the Controversy and many original texts, Professor Hanson, provides a clear understanding of how the traditional and historic doctrine of God as the Holy Trinity reached its most mature and enduring form. The author is not primarily concerned to defend the orthodox position itself, but rather to discover and examine the formation of that orthodoxy. The history of the events - the Councils, the interventions of the Emperor, the rivalries of sees, the behaviour of bishops, the varying fortunes of the different schools of thought and their leaders - is interwoven with the progression of thought and doctrine during the sixty years of the Controversy. Professor Hanson sees the problem of the reconciliation of two concepts which were both part of the very fabric of Christianity - monotheism and the worship of Jesus Christ as divine.

Book excerpt: Arianism is the archetypal Christian heresy. It was not only a watershed historically; its central issue—the question of Christ's full co-equal divinity as Son of God—remains an issue of deep concern to every generation of Christians, including our own. The traditional critique of Arianism is that its errors arise from an over-intellectual approach to Christianity, that it failed because it lacked a gospel of salvation. Questions about that traditional view have been raised here and there in recent years. This book challenges it head on. It does no on a basis of careful scholarship, and at the same time in a lively and readable style.' Maurice Wiles, Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Oxford'Gregg and Groh have enabled us to see the thought of Arius on the nature of Christ as condensing nothing less than a distinctive view of man, congruent to a precise social and religious milieu. As a result, the clash of disembodied dogmas becomes suffused with the quality of a late Roman Christian's most urgent concerns: "love and betrayal, grace and backsliding".Now presented with liberating precision in all its implications—from conflicting attitudes to change and stability in society and the universe, to vivid glimpses of the bustling world of Greek cities contrasted with the unearthly stillness of St Anthony in the desert—a well-worn chapter of Christiandogma emerges as a high moment in the birth of a new civilization in the Roman world. This is a model book, that any scholar of Christian doctrine would dearly wish to have written; and that every scholar of the early Christian world must read.' Peter Brown, Professor of History and Classics in the University of California at Berkeley'Gregg and Groh propose a novel approach to the most profound crisis of the dogmatic tradition in the ancient church. They extract from the denunciation of the errors of Arius ... a striking view of the ancient doctrine of salvation. The principle aspects of this doctrine remain too often neglected by the critics. But with Gregg and Groh the saviour God of Arius is brought back to life, reactivated ... The authors display in convincing fashion the original accents of this doctrine, at the heart of the Christian community, before it had become nothing but a heresy charged doctrine... They promote a healthy reflection on the more fixed forms of antiArian dogmatism, passively transmitted over the centuries.' Charles Kannengiesser, Professeur a Onstitut Catholique de Paris
