DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY,

FOUNDED NEITHER ON

SCRIPTURE,

NOR ON

REASON AND COMMON SENSE,

BUT ON

TRADITION AND THE INFALLIBLE CHURCH:

AN ESSAY OCCASIONED BY A LATE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE
REV. RICHARD T. P. POPE, AND THE REV. THOMAS MAGUIRE.

BY WILLIAM HAMILTON DRUMMOND, D.D.

"There is ONE God; and there is none other but he."-MARK Xii. 32.

"The doctrine of the Trinity appears to me so obviously unscriptural, that I am
pretty sure, from my own experience and that of others, that no one possessed of
merely common sense, will fail to find its unscripturality after a methodical study of
the Old and New Testaments, unless previously impressed in the early part of his
life with creeds and forms of speech preparing the way to that doctrine." Rammohun
Roy's Final Appeal, p. 354.
