Mystery Unveiled: The Crisis of the Trinity in Early Modern England , written by Paul C.H. Lim

Mystery Unveiled: The Crisis of the Trinity in Early Modern England , written by Paul C.H. Lim Paul C.H. Lim, Mystery Unveiled: The Crisis of the Trinity in Early Modern England , Oxford Studies in Historical Theology (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2012), xvi + 488pp., $74.00, ISBN 9780195339468. This volume adds to the growing body of literature on the Trinity in the seventeenth-century. This neglected field has much to offer to theologians and historians, since the seventeenth-century was marked by wide-scale assaults on the doctrine of the Trinity and a greater appreciation for its practical use. Paul Lim attempts to clarify the Socinian side of the story, with emphasis on Great Britain. While it is common to treat the Socinians as precursors to the Enlightenment exaltation of reason above Scripture, Lim argues that Socinianism represented a self-conscious outworking of the Reformation sola scriptura principle (38).
