Introducing Theophilus Press… and a new book!

We are very excited to announce the debut of a new imprint: Theophilus Press!

Theophilus Press is a publisher of theological, philosophical, and historical scholarship aimed at academic excellence and the advance of new perspectives in Christian thought.  In addition to partnering with contemporary scholars, Theophilus Press will also be publishing works from the unsung voices of Christian past, producing updated and critical editions of scholarly works which deserve another look.

Members and partners of the UCA will definitely want to keep their eyes on this new venture, as issues of monotheism, Christology, Trinity, and Church History will be front and center.

Its very first publication is available right now—an updated, scholarly edition of English unitarian Thomas Emlyn’s famous little essay on the deity of Christ, An Humble Inquiry into the Scripture-Account of Jesus Christ (1702).

Emlyn’s book, which led to his conviction and imprisonment by the English government for blasphemy, is a succinct and erudite argument for the subordination of Jesus Christ to God the Father. Beloved by several generations of unitarian Christians in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, its arguments are no less powerful now than when it was first published. This new updated edition features modernized language, improved citations, a detailed historical introduction, and a treasure trove of fascinating notes by Dale Tuggy and Kegan Chandler. You won’t want to miss Emlyn’s insightful and useful argumentation and the inspiring story of his faithful and courageous passion for the truth!

UCA members who are Partners (those who have graciously donated more than $120 per year) will be receiving this book a thank you gift for their significant help in advancing our two-fold mission to advance unitarian theology and to connect like-minded believers. Those in the continental United States and Canada will receive the paperback version by around the middle of September 2021, and other Partners will receive the ebook in two formats.

If you have not yet partnered with the UCA, the book is now available for purchase here, and will also be available at the upcoming UCA Conference in Nashville, TN, October 15-17. Be sure to grab your copy of this insightful and important book, and be on the lookout for more great books by Theophilus Press.

Many blessings!
