RH Learned hand Woodhead, Abraham The Protestants Plea for a Socinian Justifying His Doctrine from Being Opposite to Scripture or Church Authority; and Him from Being Guilty of Heresie, or Schism Produced by Colin Bell, Chris Pinfield, Joseph Cooper and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Protestant's Plea for a Socinian" by R. H. is a theological work written in the late 17th century. The text presents a series of conferences that detail the arguments of a Socinian, a member of a theological movement that rejected the orthodox views on the Trinity and Christ's divinity, as they defend their beliefs against Protestant doctrine. The work addresses issues regarding interpretations of scripture, Church authority, heresy, and schism, focusing on the Socinian perspective in relation to established Protestant principles. The opening of the work introduces the format of the text, which is structured into five conferences that discuss the Socinian's defenses against accusations of heresy and schism. The initial conference centers on the Socinian's claim that their interpretations of scripture are indeed grounded in earnest effort and study, asserting that they do not contradict essential Christian truths as outlined by scripture. A dialogue unfolds between the Protestant and the Socinian, where the Socinian argues that their faith is sincere and that the scriptures do not unequivocally support the traditional understanding of the Trinity, thus positioning their beliefs as an honest interpretation rather than heretical deviation.
