Excerpt from Letters on the Eternal Generation of the Son of God: Addressed to the Rev. Samuel Miller

Rev. and Dear Sir,

The occasion of addressing the present letters to you may be briefly stated. A passage in the third of your Letters on Unitarianism, addressed to the first Presbyterian Church in the city of Baltimore, in which you have stated your feelings and views in regard to the eternal generation of the Son of God, led me to a re-investigation of this subject, so often agitated by the church in ages past. The design of the present letters is to submit to you, and to the Christian public, the result of this investigation, with the reasons by which it appears to me to be supported.

In my letters to the Rev. William E. Channing, on the doctrine of the Trinity, and of the divine nature of Christ, I have said, (p. 31. 2d edit.) "I am unable to conceive of a definite meaning in the terms eternal generation; and I cannot regard them in any other light, than as a palpable contradiction of language." On this subject, however, your views appear to be very different, as they are presented in the following passage from your third letter.

"Nor ought it to give rise to the least difficult in the minds of any, that the second Person of the Trinity is called the Son of God; that He is said to be the only Begotten Son, and the eternally Begotten.
