Title Orthodoxy: Its Truths And Errors
Summary "Orthodoxy: Its Truths And Errors" by James Freeman Clarke is a theological treatise written in the late 19th century. The work aims to explore the principles of orthodoxy, examining both its claimed truths and inherent errors, as well as engaging with opposing viewpoints, particularly from a Unitarian perspective. Clarke seeks to critique and analyze widely accepted doctrines, aiming to uncover essential truths while shedding light on formal errors and dogmatism within Christian theology. The opening of the book establishes Clarke's intent and introduces the concept of orthodoxy as a contested terrain within Christianity. He emphasizes the need for an honest inquiry into the truths claimed by orthodox beliefs, and critiques the sectarian spirit that often dominates theological discussions. The text outlines various definitions of orthodoxy, from it being the ‘right belief’ to being associated with majority opinion, underscoring the complexities and contradictions within religious dogmas. Clarke’s approach invites readers to reconsider established norms and opens up a discourse on faith, belief, and the intersection of personal judgment with collective doctrine.
