Primitive Christianity
Book •
William Whiston's 'Primitive Christianity' presents an argument for restoring what he considered the beliefs and practices of the early apostolic church.
Whiston, influenced by his unorthodox views, critiqued later creedal formulations and advocated for a simpler Christianity based on his reading of the New Testament.
The work was controversial for its anti‑Trinitarian tendencies and for challenging established ecclesiastical authority.
It played a role in early modern debates about creed subscription and the authority of later councils.
Whiston's writings exemplify how appeals to 'primitive' Christianity could be used to justify doctrinal revisionism.
