Description

Vindiciae Priestleianae: An Address To The Students Of Oxford And Cambridge (1788) is a book written by Theophilus Lindsey. The book is a defense of the controversial religious views of Joseph Priestley, who was a prominent theologian and scientist of the time. Lindsey, a former Anglican priest who had converted to Unitarianism, believed that Priestley's ideas were unfairly criticized and misunderstood by the traditional Anglican establishment. In the book, Lindsey addresses the students of Oxford and Cambridge, two of the most prestigious universities in England, and argues that they should be open to new ideas and not blindly adhere to traditional religious beliefs. The book is a passionate plea for religious tolerance and intellectual freedom, and it remains an important text in the history of religious thought in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
