Presbyterian minister Thomas Emlyn's An Humble Inquiry is a succinct and erudite case that Christian Scripture teaches the subordination of Jesus to God. Emlyn argues for a unitarian theology in which Jesus is a different and lesser being than the one God, who is the Father alone. Because of this book Emlyn was expelled by his denomination and prosecuted by the state for the crime of blasphemy. Convicted, he served over two years in jail, and this famous case convinced many of the need for more robust religious freedom in England. A perennial classic, the book has been reprinted several times before by unitarian Christians, most recently in 1824. This new Updated Edition makes Emlyn's potent and controversial book, first published in 1702, accessible to twenty-first century readers. It is enhanced by notes, scriptural citations, a Scripture index, a complete bibliography of Emlyn's writings, and a historical introduction by Kegan A. Chandler.
