God talk

1 st August 2020 Background The reason why Henry wrote this book was the heresy of Unitarianism that basically wanted to make God ‘one’ without the need for the deity of Jesus Christ or the need for the Holy Spirit for that matter.   Although Henry’s book was from the 19 th Century, the same accusations were thrown at Christians from the Muslim quarter.
