Paul C. H. Lim offers an insightful examination of the polemical debates about the doctrine of the Trinity in seventeenth-century England, showing that this philosophical and theological re-configuration significantly impacted the politics of religion in the early modern period. Through analysis of these heated polemics, Lim shows how Trinitarian God-Talk became untenable in many ecclesiastical and philosophical circles, which led to the emergence of Unitarianism. He also demonstrates that those who continued to embrace Trinitarian doctrine articulated their piety and theological perspectives in an increasingly secularized culture of discourse. Drawing on both unexplored manuscripts and well-known treatises of Continental and English provenance, he unearths the complex layers of the polemic: from biblical exegesis to reception history of patristic authorities, from popular religious radicalism during the Civil War to Puritan spirituality, from Continental Socinians to English anti-trinitarians who avowed their relative independent theological identity, from the notion of the Platonic captivity of primitive Christianity to that of Plato as "Moses Atticus." Among this book's surprising conclusions are the findings that Anti-Trinitarian sentiment arose from a Puritan ambience, in which Biblical literalism overcame rationalistic presuppositions, and that theology and philosophy were not as unconnected during this period as previously thought. Mystery Unveiled will fill a significant lacuna in early modern English intellectual history.

Many believe Satan was once a lovely angel that rebelled against God and was cast down upon our earth. Ever wonder why God created the devil so we would need a savior? Surely if an angel could be tempted, what on earth will happen to some of us? And…if Satan lived in heaven, who tempted him? How did he become unholy? Why did he have the choice to rebel when other holy beings did not? And finally, when we get to heaven will we have that choice, too? Satan is evil and we all know it. After two thousand years, he is still trying to drag people down with him. His master plan is built on deception, and he has done a fair job at it. Millions believe that rebellion, meanness, and doing evil are acceptable in this age of open-mindedness and technology. He has even changed the doctrines of churches everywhere. Popular doctrines have been accepted as fact, but are they the true doctrines? Is it easier to accept them and go on with your life, or are you bold enough to stand up to the challenge of studying the Scriptures to find out the truth?
