But he and a friend decided to investigate some recent controversies about &#8220;the Trinity,&#8221; and eventually Emlyn found himself <strong>seeing the New Testament in a unitarian light<\/strong>. Not being a contentious person, he avoided such topics in the pulpit. But when his true convictions came to light, he was immediately forced out, and he even had to flee the country until the controversy died down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coming back, in 1702 he wrote this little book to explain his convictions: <em><strong>An Humble Inquiry<\/strong> into the Scripture-Account of Jesus Christ:  A Short Argument concerning His Deity and Glory, according to the Gospel. <\/em>The result? Jail and an unjustly large fine &#8211; the result of Ireland&#8217;s then-current &#8220;blasphemy&#8221; laws! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In this episode I present some excerpts of the just-published Updated Edition<\/strong> of this lost classic. Beloved by previous generations of unitarian Christians, this edition makes Emlyn&#8217;s sure-footed, biblical critique of the deity of Christ accessible to today&#8217;s readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s also an <strong>exciting announcement for UCA Partners<\/strong> at the beginning of this episode! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/trinities.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/emlyn-cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43400\" width=\"244\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinities.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/emlyn-cover.jpg 328w, https:\/\/trinities.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/emlyn-cover-296x450.jpg 296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 244px) 100vw, 244px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Links for this episode:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Humble-Inquiry-Scripture-Account-Jesus-Christ\/dp\/1737578301\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\"><strong>Emlyn&#8217;s <em>An Humble Inquiry<\/em> @ Amazon<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a aria-label=\"Theophilus Press (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/theophilus-press.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Theophilus Press<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitarianchristianalliance.org\/introducing-theophilus-press-and-a-new-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"UCA blog post (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">UCA blog post<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulu.com\/en\/us\/shop\/thomas-emlyn\/the-works-of-mr-thomas-emlyn-vol-1-4th-ed\/paperback\/product-1dnj9y66.html?page=1&amp;pageSize=4\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Emlyn's Works (reprint of 1746 edition) (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Emlyn&#8217;s <em>Works <\/em>(reprint of 1746 edition)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikisource.org\/wiki\/Dictionary_of_National_Biography,_1885-1900\/Emlyn,_Thomas\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Emlyn @ the Dictionary of National Biography (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Emlyn @ the Dictionary of National Biography<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You can become a UCA Partner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitarianchristianalliance.org\/join\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"here (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a aria-label=\"Kegan Chandler's blog Buried Deep (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/burieddeepblog.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Kegan Chandler&#8217;s blog Buried Deep<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chandler&#8217;s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Constantine-Divine-Mind-Kegan-Chandler\/dp\/1532689934\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Constantine and the Divine Mind (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Constantine and the Divine Mind<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/trinities.org\/blog\/letter\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"A letter from the Lord Jesus: About God and Me (Revised) (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\"><strong>A letter from the Lord Jesus: About God and Me (Revised)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/trinities.org\/blog\/podcast-124-a-challenge-to-jesus-is-god-apologists\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"podcast 124 \u2013 a challenge to \u201cJesus is God\u201d apologists (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">podcast 124 \u2013 a challenge to \u201cJesus is God\u201d apologists<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/trinities.org\/blog\/podcast-302-the-stages-of-trinitarian-commitment\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"podcast 302 \u2013 The Stages of Trinitarian Commitment (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">podcast 302 \u2013 The Stages of Trinitarian Commitment<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This week&#8217;s thinking music is &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/music\/David_Mumford\/Bonfire_Music\/David_Mumford_-_Mockingbird_Instrumental\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Mockingbird (Instrumental) (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Mockingbird (Instrumental)<\/a>&#8221;
