A General View of the Argument for the Unity of God and Against the Divinity and Pre-existence of Christ

Book published in 1794 arguing against the divinity and pre-existence of Christ, using the Jewish perspective on the Messiah. Authored by Joseph Priestley, a prominent 18th-century English theologian, natural philosopher, and political theorist known for his work on oxygen and his advocacy for religious toleration. The book reflects Priestley's attempts to fuse Enlightenment rationalism with Christian theism. Due to the controversial nature of his publications and his support for the French Revolution, Priestley was forced to flee England in 1791, eventually settling in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.
