Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A Historical Account Of Two Notable Corruptions Of Scripture: In A Letter To A Friend (1841) is a book written by Isaac Newton, a famous physicist and mathematician, who was also deeply interested in theology and the Bible. In this book, Newton discusses two significant corruptions of the Bible that occurred during the early centuries of Christianity. He provides a detailed historical account of these corruptions and their impact on the interpretation of the Bible. The first corruption he discusses is the addition of the phrase ""three in one"" to the doctrine of the Trinity, which he argues was not present in the original text and was added later by theologians. The second corruption he discusses is the addition of the Comma Johanneum, a passage in the first epistle of John that refers to the Trinity, which he argues was also added later and is not part of the original text. Newton's book is a fascinating exploration of the history of the Bible and the ways in which it has been interpreted and corrupted over time. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
