      The Socinian movement was precursor to the Enlightenment, informing John Locke and Rene Descartes especially on religious liberty/toleration. The rationalism of Socinian  exegesis received heavy blows on the continent from Jon. Coccijus and Herm. Witsius and English Puritans notably John Owen. Milton is said to have had sympathy with some of their views and petitioned for the early accused Socinian Paul Best’s release from prison.   Only a small handful of Socinian works were translated into English, notably Crellius’ ‘One God the Father’ ‘Hebrews’ and ‘Galatians’ (Lushington) and Socinus’ ‘Authority of Scripture’ printed in the 18th century w/ 2 variant titles.  Highly important texts for the Radical Reformation and Unitarianism. #a010021

    • Lias, John J.: An Exposition of the First Epistle of John

      Minn.: Klock & Klock reprint, 1982. HC, 424 pp. VG. Former owner inscription on ffep, otherwise clean with light shelfwear, namely one slight bump on the back edge an a tiny chip on the head of spine. Contents clean. Dr. Barber’s introduction deems Lias’ exposition as ‘masterful’ worthy of serious reflection and careful reading. He’s right. Lias’ interpretation of  ch. 2:2-2 leans toward a ‘hypothetical universalism’ that some may find unconvincing, his survey of Johnnine grammar occasionally inaccurate, but overall Lias’ work remains a good example of pastoral praxis in exegesis, doctrine and doxology.  Christocentric. Better than Samuel E. Pierce, but second to Robert Law’s ‘Tests of Life.’ #01010066
